By 
Lethal forward Fazila Ikwaput has finally returned to the National Team fold.
This is after Crested Cranes head coach George Lutalo named her among the provisional 39-player squad to start preparations ahead of the 2022 Africa Women Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Kenya in the final qualifying phase.
Ikwaput missed the ties against Ethiopia due to a knee injury that ruled her out for some time.
Along with Ikwaput, foreign-based players, Viola Nambi, Shiraz Natasha and Yudaya Nakayenze have been summoned.
Uganda will host Kenya in the first leg at St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende on 17th February, 2022 before a second leg in Nairobi a week later.
The team is expected to enter into a residential camp on Wednesday, 26th January at the FUFA Technical Center, Njeru ahead of the training the next day.
The aggregate winner between Uganda and Kenya will qualify to this year’s AFWCON in Morocco in August.
