Football fans in Uganda will be treated to a free and festive Match Day experience as the country hosts the 3rd/4th Place Playoff of the CHAN-2024 tournament at Namboole Stadium on Friday, August 29.
The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) announced today that it has purchased all 28,000 available tickets for the match between Sudan and Senegal from CAF and is offering them free of charge to fans as a gesture of appreciation for their support during Uganda’s historic co-hosting of CHAN-2024.
“This is our way of saying thank you to all football fans that have made our homeland proud,” said Dr. Dennis K. Mugimba, Chairperson of the Communications and Signage Sub-Committee of the LOC.
The tickets, marked “NOT FOR SALE,” are accessible exclusively via CAF’s official ticketing portal. Fans are required to fill in their details and use the Promo Code: CHAN3RD at checkout to claim up to three tickets per person. Attempts to bypass this limit will be automatically rejected by the system.
Dr. Mugimba also emphasized that no third parties are authorized to distribute the tickets, and only genuine, unduplicated tickets will be accepted at the gates.
In addition to the match, fans will enjoy live performances by top Ugandan artistes including Jose Chameleon, John Blaq, Elijah Kitaka, and Vinka, with entertainment beginning at 5:00 PM, an hour before the 6:00 PM kick-off.
The 3rd/4th place playoff marks the close of Uganda’s role in co-hosting CHAN-2024 alongside Kenya and Tanzania, with Kenya set to host the final on Saturday in Nairobi.
Fans are urged to adhere to CAF matchday rules and come early to enjoy a full day of football and celebration at Namboole.
