Uganda national team coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic released a 23-man list ahead of their regional tour of West Nile this weekend, during the FUFA weekly press conference this Wednesday.

The Cranes will face the West Nile regional team in Arua on Saturday, 12 March.

The tour will serve as a preparation for Uganda’s double header with Burkina Faso in Group D of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Lying top of the group on maximum points following back-to-back wins over Botswana and Comoros, the Cranes will battle the Stallions in Ouagadougou on 26 March before hosting their opponents in Kampala three days later.

‘Micho’ will name his final squad on Wednesday, 16 March 2016.
