Uganda Cranes Head Coach Paul Put has named four new players in the 27-man squad to prepare for the final two matches of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.  


Uganda will host South Africa at Namboole Stadium on November 15, and then face Congo in Brazzaville four days later. The Cranes need only a single point from these encounters to secure their first qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations since 2019.  

The squad includes promising U-20 striker John Paul Dembe, who plays for BK Hacken in Sweden; in-form SC Villa forward Hakim Kiwanuka; experienced defender Geoffrey Wasswa, currently with Ethiopia’s Coffee FC; and KCCA goalkeeper Mutwalibi Mugolofa.  

Uganda currently leads Group K with 10 points, South Africa follows with eight points, Congo Brazzaville sits with four points, and South Sudan remains without a point.
