The Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) is yet to receive the $100,000 for the national football team’s participation in the 2014 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN).
Edgar Watson, the Chief Executive Officer of the FA, told MTNFootball.com that they are still waiting for the money.
“We are optimistic this money will be sent by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) between now and April,” said the CEO.
Uganda is meant to receive $100,000 for participating in the competition that brings together players who feature in the local leagues back home.
Uganda Cranes only managed a win against Burkina Faso, drew with Zimbabwe and lost to Morocco at the competition that took place early this year in South Africa.
Libya, who won the title, will get a cash prize of US$750,000, while the runners-up Ghana take US$400,000.
The losing semi-finalists will each bag US$240,000, while the losing quarter finalists pocket US$175,000 and the third placed in each of the four groups will be paid US$125,000 each.
CAF also announced last year that all countries will get US$10,000 each for the home match during the zonal qualifier.
