The national team now shifts its focus to their upcoming World Cup qualifier against Algeria, scheduled for Monday, June 10th. If the Cranes secure another victory, they will be rewarded with an additional UGX 50 million bonus, as promised by the Speaker. The players are eager to maintain their winning momentum and secure another crucial victory against Algeria.

In conclusion , the Uganda Cranes’ recent victory and the subsequent bonus highlight the team’s hard work and the support they receive. With a promising match against Algeria ahead, the Cranes are motivated to continue their winning streak and make their nation proud.
