Tonight, August 18, 2025, the Uganda Cranes take on South Africa in a thrilling CHAN 2024 Group C clash at Namboole Stadium, with every ticket sold out for the 8:00 p.m. kickoff. The electric atmosphere is set to fuel a fierce battle for a quarter-final spot.
Leading Group C with six points, the Cranes hold a one-point edge over Algeria and South Africa, both on five. A win or draw tonight will secure Uganda’s place in the next round, making this match a defining moment.
“Tonight’s game is our chance to shine and advance,” the Local Organising Committee (LOC) stated yesterday. The LOC stressed that all tickets for Uganda’s matches have been sold exclusively online since the tournament began. “Any fake or duplicated tickets—standard, premium, VIP, or otherwise—will be turned away at the gates, with offenders risking arrest,” they warned.
For fans without tickets, free Fan Parks in Masindi, Kampala, and Bweyogerere will broadcast the match live, complete with music performances. Join the excitement at Café Milano, Kyadondo Rugby Grounds, or King’s Park Arena.
The LOC hailed the passionate support of Ugandan fans, noting an average of 34,000 spectators at Namboole for Cranes’ games. “Your energy drives our team forward,” the committee said, calling for a united front to cheer Uganda to victory tonight.
