Seasoned journalist Aldrine Nsubuga Sr. has come out with comprehensive assessment of the Uganda Cranes team following their exit from the ongoing TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) PAMOJA 2024.
Uganda reached uncharted territory by qualifying for the knockout stages for the first time in their CHAN history.
In front of over 35,000 at the Mandela National Stadium, they matched holders Senegal in intensity, enjoyed more possession, and crafted the better chances but lost 1-0 at the end of the 90 minutes.
Oumar Ba’s 62nd-minute finish was enough for the champions, while goalkeeper Marc Diouf and centre-back Seyni Ndiaye repelled Uganda’s late surge.
The Cranes left with their heads held high, their campaign marked by resilience, a comeback draw against South Africa, and a growing belief in their ability to trouble Africa’s elite.
Nsubuga, through his X handle, assessed each Cranes player and below is his assessment.
