Uganda to Host Somalia vs Guinea in World Cup Qualifier

KAMPALA, UGANDA | AGOOKYA – Uganda will host the Group G FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying match between Somalia and Guinea at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Namboole.

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) confirmed it accepted a request from Somalia to stage the match in Kampala on 5 September 2025, as Somalia does not have a stadium approved by FIFA or CAF. Uganda will also face Mozambique at the stadium on the same day.

In Group G standings:

  • Algeria leads with 15 points from six matches

  • Uganda sits fourth with nine points

  • Guinea is fifth with seven points

  • Somalia is last with one point

Africa will have nine teams qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
