2024 Chan: Late drama as Uganda spoils South African party to reach quarter finals
Ugandan players celebrate at their 3-3 draw with South Africa in the final Group 'C' match at the 2024 African Nations Championship at Nelson Mandela National Stadium in Namboole, Kampala, on August 188, 2025.
Uganda through to the quarter final as Group 'C' winners on seven points, one ahead of Algeria and South Africa.
On Saturday, they will meet Group D’s runners-up — either Sudan or holders Senegal — in this same cauldron.
Monday night belonged to Namboole — a cauldron of noise, nerve and history — where Uganda Cranes tore up the script and wrote their own legend. They did not win. But they won.
In a heart-stopping six-goal thriller against South Africa, the Cranes clawed their way back from the brink, secured their first-ever African Nations Championship (Chan) quarterfinal berth, and, with a slice of fortune from Nairobi, topped Group C.
