Ssenkatuka, captain of Soltilo Bright Stars FC, has been a standout performer in the 2023/24 Startimes Uganda Premier League season, scoring 13 goals.

The striker made his debut for Uganda in the 2015 CECAFA Cup in Ethiopia. He went on to make appearances in friendly matches and rarely in the senior squad for major matches.

The announcement was made by FUFA Executive Committee Member Rogers Byamukama during a press conference on Wednesday, 29th May 2024.

Byamukama also revealed that Bevis Mugabi, who plays for Motherwell in Scotland, will be unavailable for the qualifiers, having informed Coach Paul Put of his inability to join the squad. Ikpeazu cited health challenges for his absence.

In response, Ronald Otti from BUL and Ssenkatuka have been called up as replacements.

The squad will begin their camp at Cranes Paradise Hotel in Kisasi on Thursday, May 30, 2024. Locally based players are expected to join the camp on the same day, while foreign-based players, including Halidi Lwaliwa, Timothy Awany, and Isima Watenga, will arrive on Thursday morning.

The first training session is set for Friday, May 31, 2024, at 4:30 PM at Mandela National Stadium. Uganda will face Botswana on June 7, 2024, followed by a match against Algeria on June 10, 2024, both at 7:00 PM at Mandela National Stadium.
