CAN 2025 / Uganda - Tanzania: official lineups

This Saturday promises a high-pressure showdown between two sides already with their backs against the wall. Uganda and Tanzania, both defeated in their opening matches, are fighting for their future in this CAN 2025 campaign. At Rabat's Al Barid Stadium, the stakes are simple: win or risk an early elimination.

Both managers have made their decisions: here are the eleven players chosen to start this decisive clash.

Tanzania – official XI:

Beyond tactical setups, the real key will be mental strength. Uganda needs to tighten up defensively after conceding early against Tunisia (3–1). Tanzania, meanwhile, will look to turn their attacking flair into efficiency, having held off Nigeria before eventually succumbing (2–1).

This East African derby, always electric, promises to be as unpredictable as it is crucial. Victory would provide a vital breath of fresh air before the final group match; defeat could already spell the end of the road.
