Uganda host Libya this Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 16:00 GMT as part of the second round of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The two national teams are battling for top spot in Group H.

The Cranes, already guaranteed qualification thanks to their status as co-hosts of the tournament, want to use these qualifying matches to prepare a competitive team for the final tournament, scheduled to take place from June 19 to July 17, 2027, in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Libya, meanwhile, want to secure the group's second qualifying berth ahead of Tunisia and Botswana.

The Ugandans are coming off an encouraging away draw in Tunisia (1-1), while the Libyans were frustrated at home by Botswana (2-2) in their opening qualifying match.

First competitive meeting

The Cranes and the Mediterranean Knights have faced each other five times in the past, all in friendly matches. The Libyans won twice, in 2006 and 2013, while they lost in 2003, in the very first meeting between the two national teams.

Two other encounters ended in draws, in 2008 and 2022, the latter being the most recent. This match will therefore be the first competitive encounter, even though it will have no real significance for the hosts.

Here is the complete list of meetings between Uganda and Libya:

June 3, 2003: Uganda - Libya 3-2 - Friendly

August 15, 2006: Libya - Uganda 3-2 - Friendly

March 25, 2008: Uganda - Libya 1-1 - Friendly

June 1, 2013: Libya - Uganda 3-0 - Friendly

Sept. 21, 2022: Libya - Uganda 0-0 - Friendly
