The Ugandan national soccer team has halted preparations for a major tournament over a payment dispute. Players for the Cranes refused to conduct a training session in protest of unpaid allowances. Reports indicate the athletes are also seeking clear information about their compensation for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
The unpaid money reportedly dates back to the qualification matches for the tournament. Federation president David Magogo has intervened to address the situation with the squad. Uganda is scheduled to begin its campaign against Tunisia on Tuesday, with further group stage matches against Nigeria and Tanzania.
