In the draw held on Tuesday, 19th April 2022, the Uganda Cranes were pitted in Group F against Algeria, Niger and neighbours Tanzania.

Algeria have won the coveted title twice with the last coming three years ago in Egypt and this will be the first time Uganda is facing the North African outfit in AFCON Qualifiers since 1999.

For neighbors Tanzania, the most recent competitive engagement came on the road to qualifying for AFCON 2019 where Uganda emerged table leaders in the group that also had Cape Verde and Lesotho.

The most recent encounter against Niger, the other Group F opponent came in 2018 in a friendly match that the West African Nation won 2-1.
