Uganda XI Against Saudi

Uganda U23 head coach Morley Byekwaso has named the team that will face Saudi Arabia in the international build up this evening at the Prince Faisal Bin Abdulaziz Stadium.

Charles Lukwago starts in goal with skipper Enock Walusimbi at right back as Abdul Aziz Kayondo takes the left back slot.

Musa Ramathan and Peter Magambo who both play for KCCA FC form the central defensive partnership.

It is a compact midfield that has holder Bobosi Byaruhanga with several creative options ahead of him as Steven Sserwadda, Isma Mugulusi and clubless Saidi Kyeyune.
