Uganda’s senior men’s national football team (Uganda Cranes) has been placed in Group K of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
From Thursday’s draw held in Johannesburg, Uganda will play against South Africa, Congo Brazaville, and neighboring South Sudan in Group K of the draws for the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers.
The draw event was conducted by Ivory Coast Head Coach Emerse Faé and former Morocco international Marouane Chamakh.
Ahead of the draws, Uganda was seeded in Pot 2 and thus had to face a team from the rest of Pots 1, 3, and 4.
South Africa was seeded in Pot A, while Congo and South Sudan were in Pots 3 and 4, respectively.
Uganda has not been to the 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 with Tanzania and Kenya.
The top two teams, apart from the group that hosts Morocco, will qualify for the final tournament.
The qualification games will be played in September, October, and November this year.
