Two days before the eighth final against Senegal, Uganda's team is not preparing in the best conditions. The Cranes come out of a two-day strike to demand a premium upgrade for CAN 2019. The result is a zapped training and another started more than three hours after the scheduled time. Not a good omen before facing the Lions.

Another case of bonuses ... After Cameroon , Nigeria, before the start of the CAN , it is the turn of Uganda to afford its crisis, after a successful first round (2nd in Group A behind the Egypt) . The Cranes have boycotted their training session on Tuesday, and delayed Wednesday's until 22:30 to encourage their federation to accede to their request.

Three days (almost) without training ...
There was a standoff between the Ugandan Federation, which recalled that the 23 players had signed a code of good conduct, and the Cranes who did not want to let go. It was they who had the last word since the Fufa decided Wednesday evening to pay an additional 6,000 US dollars to each player by way of revaluation, while reminding them of their homework " in preparation for the eighth final against Senegal ", Friday, July 5 at 19h UT.

Lying at rest Monday after qualifying in the knockout stages, on strike, Tuesday and much of Wednesday, the Cranes have not trained really for three days. It only remains for them on Thursday, the day before the match, to reflect on the Senegal equation. This is little and with the pressure they put on, they will be more than ever expected.
