March 12

West Nile v Uganda Cranes - Arua

FUFA and Uganda Cranes sponsors have launched a new song to promote the team's 2017 Africa Nations Cup qualifier campaign.

FUFA and Cranes sponsors Airtel, NIC and BUL launched a new campaign slogan and a song -mujje tulumbe (Luganda loosely translating into let's all go for Cranes matches) for the qualifiers at the weekly press conference in Mengo on Wednesday.

Uganda Cranes will play Burkina Faso on March 26 in Ouagadougou before the return leg at Namboole three days later.

FUFA president Moses Magogo, the sponsors and Cranes defender Joseph Ochaya all urged the public to embrace the campaign to enable the national team excel.

"We are ready to fight tooth and nail for our country but when supporters are not there we're sometimes down. When you are on that pitch you need everyone's support," Ochaya said.   

Magogo also appealed to the Government for financial support for a chartered flight to Burkina Faso to enable the Cranes get back in time for the return leg.

Meanwhile, Uganda Cranes annual regional tour is slated for Saturday, 12 March 2016 where they are expected to play a select side of West Nile in Arua. The team has toured Western, North East, Northern and Kitara regions before.
