Uganda Cranes head coach Sebastien Desabre has named the final 23 man team for the 2018 Championship of Africa Nations (CHAN).

The long awaited list was confirmed and released public after Uganda’s second international build up against Congo in Rabat on Tuesday night.

Uganda Cranes lost 1-0 to Congo in the final friendly that followed Saturday’s match.

Trimmed off

KCCA left back Mustapha Kiiza and Vipers midfielder Tom Masiko were deemed as surplus to requirements.

The duo, who had left the country with the rest of the Uganda delegation for Morocco last Wednesday are expected to return to Uganda from on Thursday morning.
