Uganda tied AS FAR Rabat 2-2 at Maamora Stadium in an AFCON warmup match, and coach Paul Put gave teenage forward James Bogere his senior debut. Denis Omedi put the Cranes ahead before Reda Slim leveled things up for the hosts right before halftime. Ivan Ahimbisibwe scored what looked like the winner, but Haddraf Fatah equalized again to make it a draw.
Put said Bogere looked solid for a kid who just played at the U17 World Cup, and he was happy with how Travis Mutyaba and Bobosi Byaruhanga performed. The Belgian manager admitted the team got sloppy with possession in the second half, but he liked that they created a bunch of scoring chances throughout the game. Uganda faces Gabon next before heading into their AFCON group with Tunisia, Nigeria, and Tanzania.
