Uganda 1-0 DR Congo

Uganda have announced their squad for the forthcoming 2006 World Cup qualifier against the Cape Verde Islands.

The Cranes are looking to build on their 1-0 success against DR Congo in their first World Cup fixture earlier this month.

Uganda are in Group Two along with South Africa, Ghana and Burkina Faso.

The Cranes have never reached the World Cup finals and their last appearance in the Cup of Nations was in 1978, where Uganda finished runners-up.

The 2006 World Cup qualifiers double as qualifying games for the same year's Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt.
