Khalid Aucho will make his final Uganda Cranes appearance against Botswana at Hoima City Stadium in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The former captain confirmed his retirement from international football in October after a 13-year career that yielded 77 caps.
Aucho said he is relishing his first visit to Hoima and urged supporters to fill the stadium for his farewell match.
"It is going to be my first time to go to Hoima. It is going to be great playing in Hoima, feeling the grass and also saying goodbye to my fans," Aucho said.
The midfielder praised the improved arrangements for the national team including business class travel for the first time.
"I feel like the level at the National Team has greatly improved," he added.
Aucho called on Ugandans to attend in big numbers and promised an entertaining game for his final outing.
His leadership and experience have been central to the Cranes setup over more than a decade.
The argument doing the rounds in Kampala is whether the Cranes can give their departing midfielder a winning send-off against a Botswana side that will not roll over.
