Uganda Cranes team lift the 2012 Cecafa Tusker trophy last December
Uganda Cranes coach Bobby Williamson has named a 22 man squad to start training ahead of the International friendly game against Rwanda in Kigali on February 6.

The Scottish born coach also included four African based professional players on his squad. Edgar Watson, the Chief Executive Officer of the FA told MTNFootball.com that the team will start training tomorrow at Namboole Stadium.

Gor Mahia striker Dan Sserunkuma who was voted Kenya’s Best player for 2012 is among the professionals invited together with Hamis Kiiza (Young Africans, Tz), Brian Umony (Azam, Tz) and goalkeeper Abel Dhaira (Simba, Tz). However, the FA will wait to see if Sserunkuma will honour the invitation after failing to appear when he was invited for the 2012 Cecafa Tusker Senior Challenge Cup.

Athough the two teams will not field their first teams they will use the build-up to prepare their teams for the up-coming 2014 World Cup qualifying ties. Rwanda will be facing Mali, while the regional champions Uganda battle Liberia in the World Cup qualifiers in March.
Tanzania who beat 2012 African champions Zambia 1-0 last month in a friendly match in dare s salaam will host Cameroon, while Kenya play Libya with all games being played on February 6.

Uganda Cranes squad invited:

Goalkeepers: Hamza Muwonge, Abel Dhaira, Ali Kimera

Defenders: Simeon Masaba, Nicholas Wadada, Savio Kabugo, Denis Guma, Fahad Kawooya, Habib Kavuma, Fred Kakooza

Midfielders: Hassan Wasswa, Saidi Kyeyune, Mike SSerumaga, Joseph Mpande, Micheal Birungi, Brian Majwega, Sam Ssekitto, Willy Kavuma

Strikers: Hamis Kiiza, Dan Sserunkuma, Brian Umony, Ali Feni
