Uganda draws South Sudan, South Africa in 2025 AFCON qualifiers
Uganda Cranes have been drawn against neighbours South Sudan, Congo Brazzaville and South Africa in Group K of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifiers.
Prior to the draws for the forthcoming continental showpiece that were held in Johannesburg, South Africa, Uganda was placed in Pot 2 and thus had to face a team from the rest of the pots 1,3 and 4.
South Africa was seeded in Pot 1, while Congo and South Sudan were in pots 3 and 4 respectively.
Uganda has not been to Africa Cup of Nations for the last two editions and the ultimate target will be to return to the coveted championship next year before co-hosting the 2027 AFCON edition jointly with Tanzania and Kenya.
The 2025 AFCON qualification games will be played on a home and away basis THAT will start in September and climax in November 2024 with the first and runners-up in the 11 groups that do not involve tournament hosts Morocco, will gain qualification to the competition.
Group B that has Morocco will only qualify one team.
