It is confirmed that Uganda Cranes will face the CHAN defending champions, Senegal, in the quarterfinals of the 2024 edition at Mandela National Stadium on Saturday, 23rd August 2025.
The development was affirmed on Tuesday after the completion of the Group D matches, where Senegal finished second behind Sudan.
A ten-man Senegal and Sudan settled for a goalless draw in their final group match played at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar.
