Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has sent a morale-boosting message to the Cranes ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations Group opener against DR Congo on Saturday.
The East African nation under coach Sebastien Desabre, are making a second consecutive appearance in the competition after almost four decades of missing out.
On his official twitter account, the President exuded confidence that his charges have what it takes to shine in Egypt.
Best of luck to the Uganda Cranes as the #AFCON2019 gets underway in Egypt. The country is fully behind you.
