The Uganda Cranes resumed training after a 3-1 victory over Rwanda in the 1st leg of the CHAN 2018 qualifier with a brace from Muzamiru Mutyaba and one goal from Derrick Nsibambi last Saturday.
The 2nd leg of the qualifier will be played at the Kigali Regional Stadium, Nyamirambo in Kigali on August 19, and coach Moses Basena’s team returned to training at KCCA home ground in Lugogo to prepare for the game, in which the Cranes only need a draw to play in the CHAN tournament next January.

The team is expected to set off for Kigali on Thursday evening.
