McKinstry reveals local-based players for South Sudan Afcon assignment

Uganda head coach Johnathan McKinstry has named a 22-man local-based squad for the preparations of the November African Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against South Sudan.

Out of the 22 selected, about six will be considered for the game with the rest being sharpened for future assignments.

"As previously announced in addition to the squad of 20 foreign-based players for the upcoming double-header against South Sudan in the [Afcon qualifiers], we would be looking to adding five or six Uganda Premier League players to the mix so that they can compete for places in the squad," McKinstry confirmed on Tuesday.
