The Uganda Cranes squad of 26 players has left the country for Dubai ahead of their ten-day training camp, following the completion of coronavirus tests.
The Cranes, under coach Johnathan McKinstry, left Entebbe Airport in Kampala at 5 pm on Sunday aboard Emirates Air with 14 officials on board.
McKinstry has confirmed that several foreign-based players will not make the trip to Dubai because of Covid-19 restrictions in their various countries.
