FUFA has confirmed that the Uganda U20 men’s national team will take part in an Invitational football tournament organised for the inauguration of the new Dire Dawa International Stadium in Ethiopia from 24th-28th February 2024.
The four-team tournament dubbed the ‘Dire Cup’ will be played in Dire Dawa City and will have hosts Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and Djibouti.
The FUFA Communications Director Ahmed Hussein confirms that the team will travel this Wednesday 21st February 2024 while the opening fixture for Uganda is on Friday.
Hussein also revealed that the team will wear Gofere-branded kits during the tournament which will also be used by both the Uganda men’s and women’s U20 teams in the forthcoming All Africa Games in Ghana.
The Gofere branded kits will be used between now and until the end of the All Africa Games period only. The Hippos team has already started using the kits in the training sessions. We are glad that the tournament will help to fine-tune the men’s team before flying out to Accra
