CHAN 2024: Uganda Cranes regroup ahead of Guinea clash

Following their disappointing start at the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), the Uganda Cranes resumed preparations with a recovery session held on Tuesday evening at the FUFA Stadium, Kadiba.

The Cranes suffered a 3-0 defeat to North African giants Algeria in their opening Group C match on Monday night at the Mandela National Stadium, a result that left fans and players equally disappointed.

Now turning their focus to Friday’s crucial clash against Guinea, the team regrouped at the newly built Kadiba facility, located in Mengo, Rubaga Division, Kampala. The FIFA-funded project, launched in 2018, is one of the modern football infrastructure additions to Ugandan football.

The technical team used the session to address the shortcomings from the Algeria match, with a key emphasis on sharpening attacking efficiency and improving defensive shape and concentration.

Group C action continues on Friday, August 8th, with Algeria facing South Africa in the early kickoff before Uganda squares off with Guinea in the second fixture of the day—an encounter that could prove pivotal in the Cranes’ quest to reach the knockout stage.
