THANK YOU OUR FANS
The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) would like to pass on a vote of thanks to the fans that flocked Mandela National stadium, Namboole yesterday in big numbers to support the Uganda Cranes against Togo.
The Uganda Cranes suffered their first home loss in almost a decade.
It was the biggest attendance this year for an international match on the FUFA Calendar.

We are very much aware that the fans’ joy was disrupted by the result when Uganda Cranes lost 1-0 to Togo, although we lost the battle, we have not lost the war.
Cranes Travel on Sunday Evening:
Our gallant heroes travel later today at 6 pm for the away fixture to be played on Wednesday in Lome.
‘Our current position-2nd on the table and with half of the group stage campaign played, it still gives us a huge chance just like any other team in Group E. We still need your support in the remaining three games. It is a long journey and our fans don’t need to lose hope at this stage of the campaign’ said FUFA Chairman Technical Committee Hamid Juma.
Fans were disciplined as they entered the Stadium through the various gates.
‘As per the FUFA allowance and bonus scheme, the Uganda Cranes players received their stipulated match allowances on Friday. However despite the loss, FUFA gave players a non-stipulated motivational allowance after yesterday’s game’ said FUFA Finance Director Decolas Kiiza.
