Uganda Head Coach Milutin Micho Sredojevic has summoned a provisional squad of 40 StarTimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) players to begin preparations for the 2022 CHAN qualifiers.
The team has five goalkeepers, 15 defenders, eight midfielders and 12 forwards.
Uganda will face the winner between Somalia and Tanzania at the final qualification phase due August 26th-29th.
“Having in mind that Tanzania have a double header against Somalia with both games played in Dar es Salaam, chances are high that we will face Tanzania though I do not want to rule out the surprise element of football,” said Micho.
“With our target set at qualifying to the final tournament for the final tournament, we have to start preparing early enough.”
The team will enter residential camp at Cranes Paradise Hotel, Kisasi on Monday, 25th July 2022.
“Players are still in off season and that explains why we need to start preparing early,” added Micho.
“We shall have to break the arrangements in three aspects including fitness, match situation and competitive phase.”
Summoned players from Vipers SC will join the camp after their friendly game against Yanga FC as the Ugandan champions prepare for continental duty.
