Uganda Cranes has learnt its opponents at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers after Tuesday’s draw in Cairo, Egypt.
The Cranes have drawn Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania in Group H.
Just like Kenya and Tanzania, Uganda are taking part in these qualifiers but their fate has already been decided to take part in the final tournament as hosts.
Because of their automatic qualification, only one additional team will qualify from any group containing one of the three host nations.
Kenya has South Africa, Eritrea and South Africa in Group D while Tanzania has Nigeria, Madagascar and Guinea.
In the remaining groups, the top two teams will qualify for the finals.
All 48 teams have been pitted in 12 groups of 4, with top two in each group qualifying for the tournament due next year.
Senegal who beat Morocco to win the title, before it was stripped off by CAF after appeal, are in Group J alongside Mozambique, Sudan and Ethiopia.
Morocco are in Group A alongside Gabon, Niger and Lesotho, among other groups.
The tournament that will be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, will be hosted from 19 June to 17 July 2027.
The opening two matchdays are scheduled for the FIFA window from 21 September to 6 October 2026, before Matchdays 3 and 4 take place from 9 to 17 November 2026.
The final two rounds of matches will be played from 22 to 30 March 2027, when the line-up for the tournament is expected to be completed.
