Cameroon Under-23 international Daniel Jordan Dongmo has switched allegiance to Uganda and earned a late call-up to Paul Put's squad for the 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Botswana.
The 25-year-old Nacional midfielder is expected to join the Cranes camp on Wednesday ahead of the double-header.
Dongmo qualifies through his Ugandan maternal grandmother via his father Dongomo Fidele despite representing Cameroon at youth level.
FUFA Communications Director Ahmed Marsha Hussein confirmed the player was not in the initial squad but was added to strengthen midfield options.
The Portuguese top-flight star previously played for Troyes in France, FK Vardar in North Macedonia and Petrolul Ploiesti in Romania.
His arrival gives Put a European-based option in the engine room for the crucial Botswana fixtures.
The talking point in Kampala is whether a late call-up with zero senior international minutes can settle quickly enough to influence two must-win qualifiers.
