The Ateker festival, which is celebrated under the theme Celebrating Shared Heritage, Forging a Path Towards Peace, Prosperity, and Cultural Renaissance, will also feature members of Ateker Communities, including the Nyangatomo of Ethiopia, Topotha, Bari & Torit of South Sudan, Iteso, Turkana, and Masai of Kenya, Iteso, Karimojong, Jie, Dodoth, and Langi of Uganda, and the Masai of Tanzania.

South Sudan’s victory closes the door on Congo's qualification hopes, as they needed a win to stay in contention. The Cranes will now face South Africa's Bafana Bafana at Mandela National Stadium-Namboole on Friday, both teams competing for the top spot in the group, though both have already secured qualification.

The Cranes are close to securing their first AFCON appearance since 2019.
