CAF African Schools Football Championship - Uganda Boys Profile

Published:

Uganda return to the CAF African Schools Football Championship continental finals for the second year in a row hoping to build on the bronze medal they won in the 2023-24 season.

The East African side did not qualify for the inaugural finals in the 2022-23 campaign having failed to make an impression in the CECAFA zonal qualifiers.


But since then, they have claimed back-to-back trophy wins at regional level and will be hoping to go one better, at least, at the continental finals in Ghana.


Uganda defeated hosts Kenya in Nairobi to take the CECAFA zonal title in the 2023-24 season and then made the semifinals of the continental finals in Zanzibar.


There they lost 1-0 to Morocco in a close-fought last-4 fixture that might have gone either way.


Uganda were again victorious in the CECAFA zonal qualifier in the 2024-25 season with their 8-0 victory over Rwanda booking them a ticket to the continental finals on goal-difference from second-placed Tanzania.
They will hope to take that form to Ghana and be among the medallists again, with gold in their sights.
