Forward Faruku Miya has been named in the Uganda Cranes squad to face Buganda Region this weekend.
The match will be played at the Mityana Ssaza Grounds on Sunday at 3pm.
Miya is one of 26 players that were named in the squad that was announced on Monday morning.
He is currently in Uganda having returned from Ukraine following the invasion of the European nation by Russia which forced him to flee.
Miya is still contracted to Ukrainian side FC Lviv but expected to leave in the near future as FIFA has granted players permission to leave Ukrainian clubs.
Charles Lukwago and Chris Akena are the two other foreign based players in the squad.
Cranes head coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has also included Bunyaga Bruno of Impala Hills FC who scored the winning goal for Buddu in the 2022 Masaza Cup Final.
