By Shafik  Ssenoga

Uganda  Cranes will have  nothing  to worry  about after president Yoweri Museveni  pledged to charter a plane for the  team  that  will  represent  the country at the  FIFA  World Cup first leg  qualifier  against Togo in Lome on  November 12.

The President will also  meet the cost of air tickets for the foreign based players who will be invited for both the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Togo on November  12th and 15th in Lome and Namboole respectively.

He will also cater for the costs of the national team's preparations amounting to US$44,000.

The government will give the team its allowances and bonuses of US$3,000 per player if they eliminate  Togo.

The Uganda Cranes squad will be named by head coach Milutin 'Micho'Sredojevic on Wednesday  during the FUFA Press  conference in Mengo.
