The players went through the routine warm up paces before they were engaged in a short game drill and shooting practice from distance.
The goalkeepers Jamal Salim Magoola and Lukwago were this time handled by retired former Uganda Cranes goalkeeper Sadiq Wassa as Fred Kajoba was granted a few days leave with his club, Bright Stars who travel to Arua on Wednesday evening.
For starters, Uganda Cranes is preparing for two international build ups against Niger and Central African Republic coming up at the end of May and the very start of June, 2018.

Now, these sessions are helpful to monitor fitness, how to use the ball and self confidence.
