However, some of omitted players have expressed their dissatisfaction about the team that was called citing favouritism that still runs within the federation.
"I am not the best but I now believe truth doesn't exist", a one Byamukama started while expressing his disappointment of the list.
He added: "I am happy for those that made it to the list but still not satisfied . Favours still run within the federation something that will kill fresh talents and old talents."
The selected 16 players will commence their training on Saturday 2, June at Namboole stadium.
