Another Heritage Player Joins Uganda Cranes Ahead of Botswana

Cameroonian-born midfielder Daniel Jordan Dongmo has been called up to the Uganda Cranes.

Dongmo becomes the latest heritage player to join the national team as Uganda steps up preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

The 25-year-old, who plays for Portuguese top-flight side Nacional, is already in the country and is expected to join Wednesday’s training session ahead of the double-header against Botswana.

Dongmo previously represented Cameroon at Under-23 level but is eligible to play for Uganda through his family heritage.

FUFA confirmed that his father was born to a Ugandan mother Kafuko Yulian.

The midfielder has also played for FK Vardar in Macedonia, Petrolul in Romania, and French sides Troyes and Brasserie.

Arnold Vula, Abdoulaye Sisako, Kelvin Boateng, David Udoh Akpan, Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi and Diaby Souleymane were summoned during the last window.

Allan Okello, Herbert Bockhorn, Rogers Torach James Bogere and Sadam Masereka are expected to train today
