According to Xinhua Net, Arsenal will visit Uganda in June 2019 for a pre-season tour
Bosco Onyik is the chairman at the National Council of Sports, which is the body that takes care of sports in Uganda, and he confirmed that the Premier League giants will be traveling to the African country for their pre-season tour in 2019.
The only Ugandian Arsenal player in history is Chris Kiwomya, who played for The Gunners for three years in 1995 to 1998. Although he was born in Huddersfield and played for England U21’s, Kiwomya was eligible to play for Uganda. He scored three goals for Arsenal in 17 appearances.
Onyik had this to say about the exciting proposal
We went to London last month on January 16th and had three meetings with management of Arsenal FC with the aim of partnering with them. We agreed that they will train some of our coaches, give the Uganda Cranes chance to train at the Emirates Stadium in London, build an academy and also have their team to visit in June next year to tour Uganda and play some matches.
