Uganda Land in Accra Today For AFCON Qualifier Versus Ghana

Uganda are expected in Ghana today (Thursday) ahead of their 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Black Stars on Saturday. Ahmed Hussein, the FA’s spokesman announced that the team will leave Niamey, Niger on Thursday evening to connect to Accra. “The team should be in Kumasi by Friday where the game will take place,” he added. The Cranes, who lost 2-0 to Niger in an International friendly on Tuesday night, will be hungry to get a good result against the Black Stars who participated in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The visitors will be hoping that they can get another good result in Kumasi like they did in 2003 when they managed a 1-1 draw in a Nations Cup qualifier.
