Uganda Cranes are likely to play two international friendlies ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) that gets underway next month.

Coach Paul Put confirmed the development on Monday after the team’s training at MTN-Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.

Put while speaking to the media revealed that Uganda Cranes will have at least two international friendlies in the coming days.

“We first had a contact with Senegal but they have kept us waiting. So we will play Niger in Rwanda on 18th January.” He said.

The gaffer also confirmed that there has been communication with DR Congo who are currently having their camp in Dubai.

“We also contacted DR Congo who are in Dubai. I have been talking to FUFA and if we can have visas ready on time, we may play this game on 24th January. But these are things I cannot commit 100% because it the President and his committee to decide, I can only propose.”

Uganda will be playing at CHAN for the seventh time but the Cranes have never progressed beyond the group stage.

The tournament to be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda will be played between 1st -28th February 2025.
