Works on the Namboole Stadium are progressing positively and very soon it will look like Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium. It should be noted that the stadium was rejected by the CAF licensing board a couple of days ago.

Now works seem to be moving in the right direction. Floodlights have already been installed and the stadium looks so beautiful. The plating tough, the seats and the interior all look fabulous.
It should be noted that while rejecting the Namboole stadium, CAF pointed out several things such as parking space, playing turf, roads, and the dressing rooms among others.
However, the state minister for Sports, Hon Peter Ogwang revealed that works are going to be strengthened. The Cranes who use the stadium for their home games are set to begin their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.

It’s not clear whether this stadium will be ready by June when Uganda will start the campaign. This stadium has been out of use for close to 5 years after going into a very bad state. Besides, it’s also waited to see if the CAF will approve the stadium once these works are completed.
