Uganda have never lost to Botswana in seven meetings since the two sides first faced each other in August 2006, giving the Cranes a clear historical advantage before their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying encounter.
Uganda have won five of those matches, while the other two ended in draws. Botswana, known as the Zebras, are still waiting for their first victory against the Cranes in international football.
The record includes meetings during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaigns in 2015 and 2016, as well as the teams’ recent clashes in the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers.
Uganda have also won their past two matches against Botswana by the same narrow 1-0 scoreline. The first came at home in June 2024, before the Cranes repeated the result away from home in October 2025.
Overall, Uganda have scored nine goals in the fixture, conceding only two. Those figures underline their dominance across the seven previous encounters, although Botswana will attempt to end that run and claim their first win in the history of the contest.
