Farouk Miya’s finest moment for the Cranes was a 36th-minute goal which was the winner in a 1-0 victory over Comoros at Namboole stadium as Uganda advanced to the 2017 AFCON finals, for the first time since 1978.
Club Career
In 2015, after guiding Vipers SC to the league title, Miya won the first ever Airtel-FUFA Male player of the year award.
In January 2016, it was announced that Miya would be joining Belgian top-flight club Standard Liège in what was reported to be an initial loan deal taking him from Vipers SC.
Standard Liège acquired his services for a record fee of 400,000 US$.
On 31 January 2017, Miya was loaned to Royal Excel Mouscron and later to Səbail FK, returning at the end of the 2017–18 season.
Miya has since played at various clubs in Europe and currently plays for Çaykur Rizespor in Turkey.
