Onyango reveals why he rescinded earlier retirement plans

Uganda captain and goalkeeper Denis Onyango has revealed why he rescinded his earlier decision to retire from international football.

In November 2018, the Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper said the upcoming home game against Cape Verde would have been his last for the Cranes. Uganda won that match to book a slot in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt.

“I think this is my last Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in front of the home fans. Even if I leave, I am confident that there are good replacements who will do the job,” Onyango told reporters then.
