Uganda Cranes will play Senegal during the round of 16 stage at the ongoing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The tie was confirmed following the completion of the group C matches on Monday night as Senegal thrashed the Harambee stars of Kenya 3-0.
Uganda Cranes finished second in group A with four points behind Egypt and were to face the second team in group C.
A brace from team captain Sadio Mane and a goal from Ismaila Sarr was all the Lions of Teranga needed to beat Kenya in their Group C Day three clash and cement their place at the next round.
Algeria topped the group on the maximum nine points, three richer than Senegal with Kenya on three points. Tanzania finished at the bottom pointless.
Kenya will have to wait till all groups complete their games to learn if they may scrap through as one of the four best third place teams.
The match will be played at Cairo International Stadium, where Uganda Cranes have played all their group stage matches.
