Head coach, Milutin Sredejovic who attended the draws alongside Sports and Education Commissioner Lamex Omara Apitta noted;

Impossible is nothing. Possible is everything. We shall measure our values, test our character against good teams. We have realistic chance to get good results and pass the group.

This is a tough and competitive group but i believe in the players and the team. I believe in the management of FUFA administration. I call upon the Government to give us support.

The fans who have given us the immense and unconditional support whenever the Uganda Cranes play will be following the action

After missing out in the last 3 finals, Egypt will come like wounded lions. Ghana want to prove a point after missing in final to Cote D’Ivoire.

Uganda Cranes will play Ghana on 17th January 2017, face Egypt on 21st January in Port Gentil before playing Mali in the last group game on the 25th January 2017 in Oyem.

The entire group D will be based in Port Gentil City on the Atlantic Ocean shores, about 150KM from the capital, Libreville.

Uganda and Ghana will share the same hotel – Hotel Du Parc. Mali is accomodated at Hotel Bamboo and Egypt at the Hotel Chez Jimmy.
