Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has appointed Morley Byekwaso as the head coach of the Uganda U-23 national team, The Kobs.

Byekwaso, who is also the interim head coach of KCCA Football Club, was head coach of the U-20 side (Uganda Hippos) that finished runners-up at the AFCON U-20 championship held in Mauritania. He thus continues to work with the players he coached at the continental championship.

He will work with former Cranes right back Simeon Masaba as the Assistant Coach, Stephen Kiggundu (Goalkeepers Coach), and Ivan Ssewanyana (Physiotherapist).

Ssewanyana was part of the senior national team (Uganda Cranes) backroom staff at the AFCON 2019 tournament in Egypt and had since been on the sidelines.

The immediate task at hand for Byekwaso and his team will be at the 2021 CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup in Ethiopia.
