After the training, defender Savio Kabugo told www.fufa.co.ug that he is thrilled for the regional tour arrangement because it opens up for the young players and those rejuvenating an opportunity to the National Team .
“I am happy for the regional tour arrangement because its where I’ve been granted an opportunity to resurface at the National Team. So I have to use this opportunity to impress the coach that he reconsiders me for the senior side as I as a key player before the deadly injury” Said the excited Kabugo
He added that after returning from injury he had to work hard that he regains his form and it can be realized from his team Proline which he saved from relegation.
