Uganda Cranes vs Libya: FUFA Confirms Ticket Prices for AFCON 2027 Qualifier in Hoima

Uganda Cranes fans now have one important detail to plan for ahead of the team's next home AFCON 2027 qualifier.

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has confirmed ticket prices for Uganda's meeting with Libya, with the match scheduled for 29 September 2026 at Hoima City Stadium.

The game will be an important part of Uganda's preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which will be jointly hosted by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.

Although Uganda has already secured automatic qualification as a host nation, the Cranes are still taking part in the qualifying campaign as part of their preparations for the tournament.

FUFA confirms three ticket categories

Fans planning to attend the match will have three ticket options.

- Ordinary: UGX 20,000
- Ordinary Upper: UGX 30,000
- VIP: UGX 150,000

FUFA has confirmed that the tickets can be purchased online.

The pricing gives supporters different options depending on the type of matchday experience they want.

For many fans, the UGX 20,000 ordinary ticket is likely to be the most accessible option, while the UGX 30,000 upper section provides another choice for supporters looking for a different seating area.

The VIP category, at UGX 150,000, is aimed at fans seeking a premium matchday experience.

When is Uganda vs Libya?

The Uganda-Libya match is scheduled for Tuesday, 29 September 2026, in Hoima.

It comes just days after Uganda's opening AFCON 2027 qualifying fixture away to Tunisia on 24 September.

That makes the Libya game particularly interesting for Ugandan supporters.

The Cranes will first face one of the strongest teams in their group before returning home for their first home fixture of this qualification window.

Why the match matters for Uganda

Uganda's participation in the qualifiers is slightly different from that of most African nations.

As one of the three host countries for AFCON 2027, Uganda already has a guaranteed place at the finals.

FUFA's draw information confirms that Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania are automatically qualified, meaning only one additional team from Uganda's Group H will qualify through the normal process.

That does not make the matches meaningless.

Instead, they provide Uganda with valuable competitive football ahead of the tournament.

The Cranes will face Tunisia, Libya and Botswana in Group H, giving head coach Paul Put an opportunity to test his squad against different styles of opposition.

Hoima gets another major football occasion

The Libya match is also significant because it will take Uganda's national team to Hoima City Stadium.

FUFA recently classified Hoima City Stadium among Uganda's international-standard venues for the 2026/27 season.

That makes the fixture an important occasion for football supporters in western Uganda.

Instead of travelling to Kampala, fans in Hoima and surrounding areas will have the opportunity to watch the national team much closer to home.

It also gives the stadium another opportunity to demonstrate its ability to host major international football.

Paul Put has a squad to build

FUFA head coach Paul Put has named a 28-player squad for the September-October international window.

The squad includes experienced goalkeeper Denis Onyango as well as players based in Uganda and abroad. Among the forwards selected are Denis Omedi, Rogers Mato, Hassan Mubiru, Sadam Masereka, Steven Mukwala and Travis Mutyaba.

Put will also have to manage several absences.

FUFA says Jordan Obita and Elio Capradossi are unavailable because of injuries, while several other regulars are also missing from this particular squad because of factors including club situations, playing time and recovery from injury.

The upcoming fixtures therefore offer the coach an opportunity to assess alternative options.

Fans could play an important role

For Uganda, playing in front of a strong home crowd can provide an important boost.

The Libya match will be one of the Cranes' opportunities to build momentum towards AFCON 2027, and a large turnout in Hoima would give the players strong support.

It could also make the occasion bigger than simply another international fixture.

Uganda is preparing to co-host one of the biggest sporting events ever staged in East Africa, and matches such as this are part of the wider build-up.

What fans should know

The most important information for supporters is straightforward:

Match: Uganda Cranes vs Libya
Competition: AFCON 2027 Qualifiers
Date: 29 September 2026
Venue: Hoima City Stadium
Ordinary: UGX 20,000
Ordinary Upper: UGX 30,000
VIP: UGX 150,000
Ticketing: Online purchase

Fans should use FUFA's official ticketing channels and avoid unofficial sellers or inflated resale prices.

Final thoughts

The Uganda Cranes' clash with Libya will be an important fixture both on and off the pitch.

For the team, it is another competitive opportunity to prepare for AFCON 2027. For supporters, it is a chance to watch the national team in Hoima while helping create the atmosphere that could make Uganda's road to the tournament special.

With ticket prices now confirmed, fans can begin making their plans.

The big question now is whether the Cranes can give their supporters something to celebrate when Libya arrives in Hoima.

For Uganda, the road to AFCON 2027 is already underway — and Hoima is preparing for another big night of international football.
