AFCON 2019: Uganda players boycott training to protest unpaid dues

Uganda’s players have boycotted Africa cup of nations training because of a pay dispute.

It is the latest such dispute to break out at the tournament, following issues with Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Cameroon.

The cranes finished second in their group and are preparing to face Senegal in the last 16 on Friday.

The football federation says the players are trying to “renegotiate” the terms of a deal signed between the two parties.

They say the arrangement was agreed pre-tournament and detailed the payments that had already been made to the team.
