If you love the Uganda Cranes, you’ve come to the right spot. Here you’ll find fresh posts about every match, squad changes and big moments that matter to fans. We keep things simple: scores, highlights, and what’s coming next, so you never miss a beat.
The Cranes have had a mixed run lately. In the last AFCON qualifier they edged out Tanzania 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Geoffrey Sserunkuma. That win kept them in contention for a spot in the tournament, but a draw against Kenya showed they still need to tighten up at the back.
Defensive lapses have been their biggest issue. Conceding three goals against Rwanda highlighted a lack of coordination among the centre‑backs. The coaching staff responded by rotating the back line and bringing in a younger defender from the domestic league. Keep an eye on those changes; they could be the key to more clean sheets.
Midfielder Farouk Miya continues to be the engine of the team. He’s comfortable with both feet, makes smart passes and often finds space in tight midfield battles. When he’s on form, the Cranes can control the tempo of a game.
On the wings, Joseph Ochaya adds pace and an eye for goal. His recent brace against Burundi proved he can finish when the chance comes. If he stays injury‑free, he’ll be crucial in breaking down stubborn defenses.
The striker position still leans on Geoffrey Sserunkuma’s experience. At 36, his positioning is sharp, and he knows how to guide younger forwards through movement. Watch for him linking up with Miya in the final third – it often creates scoring opportunities.
Beyond individual names, the team’s chemistry is improving. The players are speaking more on social media about training together and sharing jokes in the locker room. That camaraderie usually translates into better teamwork on the pitch.
