The Uganda Cubs' preparatory matches yielded two losses and a draw. They drew 1-1 with Venezuela in their first outing before losing 2-1 to Panama and 3-2 to Paraguay, respectively.
The team, which will depart for Qatar on Saturday, November 1, will be making its debut at this level. This also marks the first time any Ugandan football team has qualified for a FIFA World Cup. Uganda is drawn in Group E alongside Canada, Chile, and France. They will open their campaign against Canada on November 5, face Chile on November 8, and conclude their group stage against France on November 11.
