Who played for Cranes in 6-0 drubbing by Tunisia?

Kampala.

It’s 18 years since Uganda Cranes played in Tunis, losing 6-0 in the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Today, Cranes return to the ‘dreaded’ Stade Olympique El Menzah, Tunis for a buildup game intended to prepare both national teams for the 2017 Nations Cup in Gabon.

Daily Monitor revisits the match day squad and where they could be now.

Fred Kajoba
Then at Simba, Kajoba is now Uganda Cranes’ goalkeeping coach and also the boss at Bright Stars.

Philip Obwiny
In his prime, Obwiny’s versatility meant so much for Cranes. It aided his time as part of the coaching staff at SC Villa and ambassador for Airtel Rising Stars. Lately, Obwiny is part of the Dan Walusimbi group trying to unseat the current Fufa.

Derrick Muyanja
Then at KCCA, Muyanja is now a businessman. Those who watched from his school days at St. Henry’s College Kitovu think he is one of the best defenders of that group.

George Ssemwogerere
A starlet of the 90s at Express, Ssemwogerere went on to coach at several clubs and age group sides before joining Walusimbi’s cause last year. He is now a football activist.

Wilbur Musika
The left-back left Uganda for the USA too early that KCCA never saw the best of him.

Joseph Mutyaba
The former winger was sacked by Busia Fisheries last year.

Ibrahim Sekagya
Arguably the best defender of his generation, Sekagya is now an assistant coach at New York Red Bull.

Kefa Kisala
The current URA coach was among the last breed of the traditional left-sided wingers.

James Odoch
He is Kisala’s assistant at URA.

Magid Musisi
To many, only Philip Omondi is better or comparable to SC Villa legend Musisi. Sadly, both have since passed on in dire straits.

Iddi Batambuze
Little has been known of Batambuze since he left the stage. But, in his prime, Villa had a jewel.

SUBSTITUTES
Hassan Mubiru and Edward Kalungi replaced Obwiny and Odoch respectively. Mubiru was last an assistant at Express while Kalungi is a businessman who also works at Fufa FM.

Coach Asuman Lubowa
Today, Lubowa is the Fufa technical director.
