FIFA referee Denis Batte and assistant Referee Mark Sonko are in Cairo , Egypt to attend a CAF organised Elite ‘B’ Course.
Over 50 referees are attending the course that officially starts this Friday and closes on November 8. The best performers in such trainings are usually considered for appointments in the CHAN competitions and the Africa Cup of Nations finals.
FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo said the arrangement gives Uganda a big hope in having at least a Ugandan referee travelling to South Africa for the CHAN finals due in January next year.
Meanwhile Aisah Nabikko Ssemambo missed out on the same flight after failing to secure an Egyptian visa on time. The Female referee reportedly failed to present the right pictures as required by the Embassy.
Batte and Sonko return to Kampala on November 10.
