The Uganda Cranes are set to take on West African giants Guinea in their inaugural 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture on November 17, 2023, at Stade De Municipal in Berkane, Morocco.


Joseph Paul Put, the new Uganda Cranes Head coach faces the daunting task of fielding a team against Guinea with less than two weeks of preparation. 

The Cranes, eyeing their first-ever World Cup appearance, find themselves in Group G alongside Guinea, Algeria, Mozambique, Botswana, and Somalia, vying for a coveted spot in the upcoming World Cup. 

This match marks Uganda's first international competitive outing following the departure of Serbian coach Milutin Sredojević, commonly known as Micho. 

Notably, this game signifies the debut of newly appointed manager Joseph Paul Put. Before his departure, Micho reportedly had disagreements with some players over what was described as outdated tactics. Seasoned defender Halid Lwaliwa expressed the team's determination to embrace Put's instructions fully for optimal results.
