Elio Capradossi, the talented Uganda Cranes defender, has secured a move to Italian Serie B side Cittadella, ending months without a club.
The 28-year-old’s absence from professional football had affected his chances of being summoned for Uganda’s recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Born in Entebbe to an Italian father and a Congolese mother, Capradossi has enjoyed a career playing for renowned Italian clubs like AS Roma, Spezia, Bari, and Cagliari. Before his free agency, he was with AC Lecco.
Capradossi debuted for Uganda in 2024 during a World Cup qualifier against Botswana and has since become a favorite among fans.
His return to club football is a relief to supporters eager to see him continue contributing to both club and country.
The defender’s move to Cittadella offers a fresh opportunity to reignite his career and push for future national team call-ups.
