The federation records a 13-year international career and 77 caps for Aucho.

Uganda will host Botswana at Hoima City Stadium on Saturday, 14 November. FUFA lists kickoff at 19:00 Ugandan time, equivalent to 18:00 SAST.

Bobosi Byaruhanga and Herbert Bockhorn are also among the selected players, while the squad includes goalkeeper Denis Onyango.

FUFA says tickets for the home fixture will be sold online only, with ordinary lower-tier admission priced at UGX 20,000, ordinary upper-tier admission at UGX 30,000 and VIP admission at UGX 150,000.

The occasion therefore combines a qualifying assignment with recognition of Aucho’s contribution to the Cranes.
