Scottish teenagers Olly and Seb Fisher, who play for Partick Thistle, have been called up to Uganda's under-17 and under-20 national teams and are training in Jinja.
- The brothers, born in Scotland to a Ugandan-born mother, were invited to the camps in August and spent last week training in Jinja.
- Olly, 18, said he was "shocked" and "honoured" at the call-up, having not thought representing Uganda was a possibility.
- Coach Laryea Kingston told the pair they would be the first white players to represent Uganda, which Seb called "history in the making."
- Olly said he hopes to play for Uganda at the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations early next year, while Seb could feature in November's Under-17 World Cup in Qatar.
