A win against Zambia would propel the Ugandan Cubs to six points and secure automatic qualification to the quarter-finals of the continental tournament.

The stakes are high, not only for a spot in the last eight but also for qualification to the FIFA U-17 World Cup set for Qatar later this year.

The top two teams from each of the four groups at the U-17 AFCON will progress to the quarter-finals and automatically qualify for the World Cup.

The remaining four third-placed teams will battle it out in play-offs to determine the last two African representatives.

Uganda revived their campaign with a 3-0 win over Tanzania in their second group match, following an opening 5-0 defeat to host nation Morocco.

The strong response against Tanzania, powered by a clinical attacking performance, has kept the Cubs’ hopes alive heading into the final round of matches.

Morocco top the group with a superior goal difference (+5), followed by Zambia (+3), Uganda (-2), and Tanzania (-6), who are now out of contention.

In the other Group A fixture, Morocco will play Tanzania, with the hosts expected to secure their place in the knockout stage.

Elsewhere, Mali and Burkina Faso have already booked their spots in the quarter-finals after winning both their opening matches.

The race in Groups B, C, and D remains open, with several teams still in contention for progression and World Cup qualification.
