Uganda Cranes have no choice but to beat Niger in Marrakesh later on today in their last group match.
They will stand a chance of playing at the Africa Cup of Nations finals next year in Ivory Coast.
But this will only happen if second placed Tanzania are beaten by Algeria who already confirmed their top spot with maximum points from five games.
The 1978 finalists come into the game third on the Group log with 4 points against a side at the base with only three points and out of contention.
A win will be enough for Uganda to return to Afcon after missing out on the last edition despite qualifying for back-to-back tournaments in 2017 & 2019
From the coaching staff to the players, everyone has sounded optimistic of victory.
“As players, we are ready to put our bodies online in order to achieve the target which is qualification to Afcon in Ivory Coast next year,” US based attacking midfielder Ibrahim Kasule told the media
