Uganda's under-17 squad lost to Tanzania 3-2 in the CECAFA qualifying final at Abebe Bikila Stadium, but they still punched their ticket to the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Tanzania dominated the first half and put up all three goals before the break, with Razaki Mbegelendi scoring twice and Luqman Mbalasalu adding another.
The Cubs tried pushing back after halftime, but Fahad Ismail missed a penalty that could have changed things. Thomas Ogena and Brian Olwa got goals for Uganda, but the comeback fell short when time ran out.
