Uganda coach Johnny McKinstry has welcomed Fufa’s idea of a Tri-Nation Tournament, which Uganda will host as part of preparations for the 2020 African Nations Championship (Chan).
According to Fufa, the three-nation preparatory event, due on March 17-21, will involve Uganda, Zambia, and Mali.
The Northern Irishman has now stated the tournament will act as a litmus test for the Cranes ahead of the bigger tournament, which is limited to only home-based players.

“Zambia and Mali are one of the top footballing nations in Africa. It is a good idea by Fufa because I feel the two nations can give us a better gauging of our strength as we head into the final tournament in Cameroon,” McKinstry is quoted by New Vision.
