Cranes seeded in Pot 3 ahead of CHAN draw

Must read

Uganda has been placed in Pot 3 with Congo, Rwanda and Sudan for the 2018 Total African Nations Championship in Morocco ahead of the draw which will be held on Friday, 17 November 2017 at Sofitel Rabat.

The four Pots consisting of the 16 qualified teams were decided on the basis of a ranking established, taking into account the performances at the past editions of the final tournament designed exclusively for footballers playing in their domestic leagues.

The development means that Cranes can’t be drawn in the same group with CECAFA members Rwanda and Sudan.

Cranes CHAN Team Manager Kasana Joseph will represent Uganda at the event and will also get the chance for a guided tour of the stadiums to be used during the tournament.

The Organising Committee also approved the calendar for the final tournament which will run from 13 January to 4 February 2018 in the following cities: Casablanca (Group A), Marrakech (Group B), Tangier (Group C) and Agadir (Group D).

The opening match and the final will be played at the newly refurbished Mohamed V Complex in Casablanca, which also hosted the second leg final of the Total CAF Champions League 2017.

Meanwhile, Brian Miiro Nsubuga is the Ugandan referee who has been appointed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to officiate at the 2018 CHAN tournament in Morocco. He becomes the second Ugandan referee to officiate at the CHAN tournament after Mark Ssonko in Rwanda 2016.

 

Pot 1: Morocco (host), Angola, Cote d’Ivoire, Libya

Pot 2: Cameroon, Guinea, Nigeria, Zambia

Pot 3: Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Sudan

Pot 4: Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Namibia
