Uganda Cranes player, William Kizito Luwagga has linked up with rest of the team for training as they prepare for the Saturday match against Taifa Stars of Tanzania. He joined his international team mates that started training last week at the Startimes Stadium Lugogo.

The team has however shifted training to Mandela National Stadium, Namboole where national Cranes’ head coach Sebastian Desabre has doubled training sessions.

Kizito Luwagga, the former Vipers midfield engine was among the last players to turn up for the international duty as Sebastian Desabre’s men build up towards the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Tanzania on Saturday, 8^th September.

With the Mamelodi Sundowns stopper, Dennis Onyango and SV Reid goal machine Lubega Edrisa already with the team, this makes it full house and boosts the team’s morale to face the Taifa Stars.

“I have a lot of hope that we can even top our group because we are almost the best in this group,” said Musa Kayode, another Cranes fan.
