Uganda Cranes host Libya’s Mediterranean Knights in a crucial Group H clash of the 2027 AFCON Qualifiers at the Hoima City Stadium. This marks the first time Uganda plays a senior men’s international fixture outside Kampala in decades, bringing top-level football to the Bunyoro-Kitara region under the lights. The Qualification Equation While Uganda has already secured automatic qualification as a co-host for AFCON 2027, the Cranes are using these matches to build momentum. For Libya, however, this is a must-win battle. With Tunisia and Botswana also in the group, only the top non-host team will join Uganda at the finals. Form Guide Uganda enters the match with confidence after a resilient 1-1 away draw against Tunisia, with Rogers Mato scoring the equalizer. Libya, meanwhile, comes off a dramatic 2-2 comeback against Botswana, needing a stoppage-time penalty to rescue a point at home. Team News Coach Paul Put has called up a squad featuring a mix of experienced campaigners and nine naturalized “heritage players” as Uganda prepares for the continental showpiece. Captain Denis Onyango has expressed excitement about making Hoima City Stadium a new fortress for the national team. Kick-off is set for 7:00 PM EAT. The atmosphere in Hoima is expected to be electric as the Cranes look to deliver a memorable performance in their new regional home. #UgandaVsLibya #AFCON2027 #Pamoja2027 #UgandaCranes #MediterraneanKnights #HoimaCityStadium #AFCONQualifiers #GroupH #TotalEnergiesAFCON #CranesNaMezzi #CAF #UgandaFootball #LibyaFootball #LiveFootball #AfricanFootball
