The Lugogo based club traveled with 22 players, however, Martin Kiiza, Simon Mbaziira and Rogers Lukwiya dropped by the coach Abdullah Mubiru who himself did not travel but Asante Kotoko left back Joseph Ochaya was controversially included on the squad despite the fact that he still has a six months contract with the Ghanaian club.
