It all depends on whether or not the financial statements contain sufficient disclosures.

If in case the financial statements contains disclosures about the uncertainty in going concern, unmodified opinion is issued whereas no such disclosures are there in Financial statements - Qualified opinion is issued.

So answer to your question is material uncertainty related to going concern can be included in both adverse / qualified opinion and unmodified opinion.
