After 13-hours of traveling from Kampala, to Entebbe International Airport through Doha, Qatar the Cranes finally arrived in Casablanca, Morocco ahead of their crucial 2015 Afcon qualifier against Guinea on Wednesday.
The determined Cranes team were delayed at the Casablanca International Airport for another one hour before they headed straight to the Hotel Casablanca Le Lido Thalasso & Spa where they had a quick lunch.
Edgar Watson, FUFA’s Chief Executive Officer who traveled as an advance party was at the Airport to receive the team.
‘We are here for a serious mission and we must achieve it’ midfielder Tony Mawejje told Fufa.co.ug on arrival.
