The Uganda Cranes contingent has on Wednesday morning shifted to St.Mary's Stadium Kitende for the last training ahead of their duel with South Sudan in AFCON 2021 qualifiers.

Vipers SC home ground St.Mary's Stadium will be the hosting ground for Uganda Cranes as they will be tussling it out with the Sudanese before visiting them four days later in Kenya. For starters, Namboole was taken as a treatment point for COVID-19 pandemic and thus the Cranes opted for Vipers' home ground.

Uganda Cranes are vying for qualifying for the third successive time and currently lead group B with four points, Burkina Faso are second also with four but one goal difference less, Malawi are third with three points and South Sudan are glued at the bottom with no point.
