It is a full house in Uganda Cranes camp in South Africa following the arrival of two players, Moses Waiswa Ndhondhi and Ismael Watenga.
Waiswa and Watenga are based in South Africa where they ply their professional trade with SuperSport United and Chippa United respectively.
These two players trained with the rest of the other players moments after arrival in Johannesburg.
The team was received by former Uganda Cranes captain Denis Onyango.
They arrived well in the wee hours of Tuesday morning before they checked in at Protea Hotel Roodepoort, Johannesburg.
The first training session was conducted in the evening hours at the SAFA Technical Centre in Johannesburg.
Head coach Abdallah Mubiru anticipates a good contest against South Africa on Thursday, 10th June 2021.
