Algeria will take on Uganda in a crucial Group C clash at the 2024 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) on Monday, August 4, 2025. The match will be played at the Stade du 19 Mai 1956 in Annaba, Algeria, as both teams seek an important win in their quest for a place in the knockout stages.
Algeria enters this match with high expectations, having finished as runners-up in CHAN 2022 on home soil. The Desert Warriors are one of the tournament favorites again this year, and they kicked off their 2024 campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea.
Uganda, meanwhile, played out a goalless draw against Ivory Coast in their first group match. The Cranes will need to be sharper in attack if they want to get past a solid Algerian defense.

Algeria:
Led by Coach Madjid Bougherra, the Desert Warriors rely on strong defensive discipline and quick transitions. Aimen Mahious, the top scorer in CHAN 2022, remains a key threat up front.
Uganda:
Under coach Milutin “Micho” Sredojević, Uganda are compact and organized. Midfielder Travis Mutyaba and goalkeeper Alionzi Nafian stood out in the draw against Ivory Coast and will be vital again.
