Kick-off: December 23, 2025, at 22:00.

In the opening round of the Africa Cup of Nations, the match Tunisia — Uganda will take place at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. The history of head-to-head meetings between these national teams clearly points to the hosts’ advantage: in all five previous encounters, Tunisia celebrated victory with an aggregate score of 16–1. The teams last met in a 2017 friendly match, which ended in a 2–0 win for Tunisia. For both sides, this Group C match will be the starting point in the battle for a place in the knockout stage, where they will also have to face a strong Nigeria.

Tunisia enters the fight for the trophy as one of the tournament’s dark horses. The team has won the title only once, in 2004 at a home championship, and the current generation of players under head coach Sami Trabelsi is aiming to repeat that historic success. It showed excellent form this year, finishing first in its group in qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Despite cautious optimism from the coaching staff, fans expect a confident start from the hosts.
