Uganda Premier League and CECAFA Kagame Cup champions Express FC will be represented on the Uganda Cranes squad ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Kenya set to take place on 2nd September in Nairobi.

Center back Murushid Juuko leads the cast along with three other Red Eagles who include club captain Enock Walusimbi, Goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa and winger Martin Kizza. Midfielder Muzamiru Mutyaba and left back Arthur Kiggundu missed out on the cut.

The four made the final 20 man Uganda Cranes squad which flew out to Ethiopia on Thursday morning. Uganda Cranes are expected to face Ethiopia on 29th August in a football friendly before connecting to Nairobi for the qualifier against Kenya.

The Cranes are pooled in group E alongside neighbors Rwanda, Kenya and West African side Mali.

All the four players who made the traveling squad were part of the Express FC squad which won the CECAFA Kagame Cup recently for the first time in the club’s history.
