Tunisia - Uganda

Tunisia host Uganda on 24 September 2026 for this Africa Cup of Nations qualification matchday 1 encounter. The hosts look to leverage their recent dominance in this fixture, having secured a 3-1 victory against these opponents during the Africa Cup of Nations group stage on 23 December 2025. Tunisia will aim to establish early momentum in Group H by repeating the clinical attacking performance that defined their previous meeting.

Uganda arrive as the visitors looking to overturn a difficult head-to-head record against their counterparts. Beyond their recent competitive meeting, the two sides previously faced off in a friendly on 4 January 2017, which ended in a 2-0 win for Tunisia. With points at stake in this opening group fixture, Uganda must find a way to contain the Tunisian threat and secure a positive result to begin their qualification campaign on stable footing.
