The Cranes National team touched Nyerere International Airport in Tanzania this Wednesday afternoon just minutes after Amavubi of Rwanda had also landed here. Ugandan born goalkeeper trainer Ibrahim Mugisha was part of the Rwandese delegation.
Ethiopian based Cranes players Robert Odongokara, Isaac Isinde, Sula Matovu and Mike Sserumaga had arrived about two hours earlier aboard Ethiopian airlines. Uganda was booked at Valentino Hotel in Kariako area.
