Rwanda will take on Uganda in the final round of 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) Central East Zone qualifiers, following an aggregate win over Tanzania.

The Wasps were held to a goalless draw by the Taifa Stars in a second round, second-leg clash at the Stade Regional Nyamirambo, but advance following a favourable result in Mwanza.

The first-leg in Tanzania ended in a 1-1 stalemate.

Rwanda were made to defend tirelessly in the final exchanges of the second-leg clash in Kigali, but did just about enough to see home an aggregate victory.

As a result of their aggregate win, the 2016 CHAN hosts will take on Uganda for a place in next year's showpiece - to be held in Kenya.

The Cranes booked their place in the final round of qualifying following a 5-1 thumping of South Sudan earlier today.

Tanzania will have to up their game if they are to seal their place in the third round, Central-East Zone qualifiers for the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) following a 1-1 draw in Mwanza a week ago.

The Taifa Stars were held at home by a determined Rwanda outfit in the reverse fixture and the Wasps will fancy their chances at home.

Kick-off in the fixture scheduled to take place at the Stade Régional Nyamirambo in Kigali, is set for 15h30 CAT on Saturday.

Uganda referee Brian Miiro will take charge of the clash.

Dominique Nshuti scored the vital away goal for Rwanda before Himid Mao pulled the two teams level.
