Uganda have been drawn in Group B of the 2018 Africa Nations Championship (Chan), which gets underway mid next January.
The Cranes are placed alongside traditional giants Cote D’Ivoire and Zambia, with Namibia completing the pool.
Group B will play its matches in Morocco’s tourism city of Marakech.
The Cranes open up the tournament on January 14, 2018 against Zambia.
The second match is four days later when the Cranes face Namibia before winding up the group stage against Cote D’Ivoire on January 22.
Chan gives an opportunity to Uganda Premier League (UPL) players to expose their talent since the tournament is exclusive for nationals that play in domestic leagues.
