Uganda Sevens coach Tolbert Onyango and his charges have a busy calendar lined up for 2020 and will not waste any more time as they prepare for action.
The tactician summoned a squad to train ahead of the Challenger Series in Chile and Uruguay this year and will start serious training with their first session on 7th January 2020 at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds.
Of the seventeen players summoned, there are two new faces in the shape of Alex Aturinda and Kelvin Balagadde while the rest are seasoned campaigners.
Betway Kobs will be represented by five players on the team.
Betway Sports Personality of 2019 Joseph Aredo, Pius Ogena, Adrian Kasito, Ian Munyani and Nobert Okeny are all named on the team.
"The two debutants have done well in the past couple of months in the league and Uganda Cup and have potential to be great sevens players and we are hoping to get them up to speed with the rest of the lads."- coach Tolbert said of the selection.
Uganda is one of the 13 teams invited to participate in the two Challenger Series tournaments to be held on the 15th/16th February in Chile and the 22nd/23rd February 2020 in Uruguay.
The best 8 placed teams from the 13 Challenger Series teams as a result of combined points accumulated across the 2 events, will qualify to Hong Kong to participate in the HSBC World Series Qualification Tournament.
This will be held in conjunction with the Hong Kong leg of the Sevens Series (3rd - 5th April 2020).
