After confirming the final 24 man team that will camp in Egypt for a week before the final group L qualifier away in Dar es Salaam, Uganda Cranes head coach Sebastien Desabre defended the team selection.
Addressing journalists moments after the team’s 4-0 win over Kampala Region Select team, the Frenchman hinted of factors considered for the team selection.
After the test match, he officially released the team of home based players (10) who travelled to Egypt for the training camp.
He talked of experience, departmental demand and current form as the three major factors considered;

KCCA Football Club youngster Allan Okello and Vipers’ defender Halid Lwaliwa are the rookies on the main stream team.
Okello is a graduate from the youth structures having represented the country at the U-20 and U-23 levels.
Halid Lwaliwa was a regular on the CHAN team but had not yet got a break through to the senior team.
Other locally based players on the team are tried and tested. Timothy Denis Awany, Allan Kyambadde, Ibrahim Sadam Juma, Henry Patrick Kaddu, Tadeo Lwanga and Moses Waiswa have been part of the team in the past.
Desabre named two players currently unattached to any club – Geofrey Walusimbi and Hassan Wasswa Mawanda.

He saluted the character of players worked with during the week-long training, many of whom he believes shall be part of the team in the nearby future.
We had an amazing week of training with the locally based players at Lugogo. There was good character shown. You look at players as Daniel Sserunkuma, Bright Anukani and others. They are to be considered in the future.

Kikosi cha Timu ya Taifa ya Tanzania (Taifa Stars) kinachotarajia kucheza mchezo wa kufuzu AFCON dhidi ya Uganda Machi 24,2019.

STRAIKA wa Stand United, raia wa Burundi, Alex Kitenge amefunguka kuwa alishindwa kuwafunga Simba kwenye mchezo wao uliopigwa wiki iliyopita Uwanja wa Taifa na timu yake kupokea kichapo cha mabao 3-0, kutokana na uimara wa safu ya ulinzi ya Simba, huku akiweka wazi kuwa Juuko Murshid ni kiboko ya mabeki wote ambao amekutana nao msimu huu. Kitenge alishindwa kufurukuta tofauti na matarajio ya wengi ambapo mwanzoni mwa msimu alijiandikia historia ya kufunga mabao matatu ‘hat trick’ ya kwanza dhidi ya Yanga, licha ya timu yake kupoteza kwa mabao 4-3. Mchezo huo uliopigwa kwenye Uwanja wa Taifa hali iliyozua mshituko kwa wapenda soka wengi na kuhisi kuwa jamaa atakuwa moto mkali katika kila mchezo. Akizungumza na Championi Ijumaa, Kitenge alisema mabeki wa Simba walimsumbua sana tofauti na alivyotarajia, huku akimtaja Mganda Juuko kuwa ni kiboko yao maana alikuwa anamfuata kila mahali ili asipate nafasi hata ya kutuliza mpira, kitendo ambacho alifanikiwa na mpaka mwisho wa mchezo alitoka kapa bila kuziona nyavu za Simba. Kitenge aliifungukia beki ya Yanga na kudai kuwa walikuwa wanajisahau sana hali iliyosababisha yeye kupata nafasi ya kuwafunga mabao matatu, licha ya kuwa nao beki yao ipo vizuri ila walikuwa wanamsahau kitendo kilichompa nafasi ya kufunga mara kwa mara. “Beki ya Simba ilinisumbua sana hasa yule Juuko alikuwa ananifuata kila mahali, alikuwa hanipi nafasi maana kila nilipokuwa naenda jamaa alikuwa nyuma yangu, alikuwa hatoki kabisa hicho ndiyo kilinipa ugumu,” alifunguka Kitenge.
