McKinstry explains why Uganda’s Dubai trip was better than friendlies

The Cecafa champions chose to take a week-long training camp in the Middle East during the international break before returning home

Uganda head coach Johnathan McKinstry has explained why the Dubai training camp was more important than friendlies.

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) decided to take the Cranes to the Middle East for a week-long training camp ahead of a November double-header against South Sudan in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

“Overall, I am very pleased with the camp we have completed in Dubai, it has been a very worthwhile six-seven day,” McKinstry said as was quoted by Sports Nation.
