Algeria will host Uganda At Hussein Ait Ahmed Stadium, on Tuesday, in the final round of the African Championship 2026 World Cup qualifiers campaign. The home side have been excellent in their qualifying campaign so far, and have now confirmed their place in next year’s World Finals, sitting four points clear at the top of Group G heading into the final.
The Somali national team achieved a 3-0 victory over last-placed Somalia in its match on Thursday, thanks to Riyad Mahrez’s first-half goal and a brace from Wolfsburg striker Mohamed Amoura to secure the win.
Uganda have also performed well in their World Cup qualifying campaign so far and are in contention to secure a play-off place, although they not only have to win on Tuesday, they also need results elsewhere to go their way to do so.
They beat Botswana 1-0 away in their final group match, with Jude Simogabe scoring the only goal of the game early in the second half. The visitors now sit second in Group G with 18 points from nine matches and can be proud of their efforts regardless of what happens in the final round on Tuesday.
