Algeria will host Uganda at the Hocine Aït Ahmed Stadium on Tuesday in the final round of their CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualification campaign. The home side have been excellent in their qualification campaign so far and have now confirmed a spot at the global showpiece next year as they sit four points clear at the top of Group G heading into the final game.
They coasted to a 3-0 win over last-placed Somalia in their game on Thursday, with Riyad Mahrez' first-half strike and a brace from Wolfsburg forward Mohamed Amoura sealing the win.
Uganda have also performed well in their World Cup qualifying campaign so far and are in contention to secure a playoff spot, although they must not only win on Tuesday but also need results elsewhere to go in their favour to achieve that.
Trending
They beat Botswana 1-0 on the road in their last group game with Jude Ssemugabi scoring the sole goal of the contest 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 closing round on Tuesday.
