Uganda coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has announced his 23-man squad for the 2017 African Cup of Nations.
The ‘Cranes’ make a comeback after a 29-year absence – previously losing to Ghana in the 1978 finals.
In a bid to shape, they lost two goals to nil on Wednesday afternoon in a warm-up game against Tunisia – a match the coach described his team as a ‘select side’.

Uganda will play their first group game against the Black Stars of Ghana on the 17th of January in Port Gentil before playing Egypt and Mali respectively.
