The Ugandan national team achieved its first win in Group Eight after three draws.
Uganda rose to the top of the group with 4 points, followed by Botswana and Tunisia with two points each, then Libya in fourth place with one point.
One team from this group qualifies for the Africa Cup of Nations due to the presence of tournament hosts Uganda, who have already secured their spot in the competition.
The Africa Cup of Nations will be held in June 2027 in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya.
African national teams were divided into 12 groups, each containing four teams, with the top two teams qualifying directly for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Groups Four, Eight, and Twelve were exempted because they include the organizing nations—Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, respectively—meaning only one team from those groups qualifies.
