Uganda Cranes top striker Okwi retires after 15 years of service

Kampala, Mar 18 (UNI) Uganda's top striker Emmanuel Arnold Okwi on Tuesday announced his retirement from international football.
The 32-year-old has scored the highest number of goals for the national team and plies his trade for Rwanda Premier League side AS Kigali.
"An exciting new era for Ugandan football is coming up with East Africa hosting the CHAN later this August and subsequently the AFCON 2027 with many young footballers coming up. That is why, having cherished all those memories, I believe it is time for me to bow out and pave the way for our talented young football players," said Okwi.
