The Uganda Cranes and South Africa’s Bafana Bafana are the latest nations to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), joining 22 other teams in the 35th edition of the tournament.

Their qualification was confirmed after South Sudan defeated Congo 3-2 in Juba on Thursday. This result means that Congo cannot catch up with Uganda or South Africa, which currently have 10 and 8 points, respectively.

The upcoming match between Uganda and South Africa will be important for pride and for determining who finishes first in Group K.

Meanwhile, Uganda will be playing in their eighth AFCON tournament. They have appeared in 1962, 1968, 1974, 1976, 1978, 2017, and 2019. Their best performance was in 1978 when they finished as runners-up in Kumasi, Ghana.

Other teams that have already qualified include holders Ivory Coast, host Morocco, former champions Algeria, Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Cameroon, Angola, Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
