President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Wednesday commissioned the 20,000-seater Hoima City Stadium in the Bunyoro sub-region, describing it as a clear signal of Uganda’s readiness to host major regional, continental, and international sports events. The USD 130 million facility is one of Uganda’s flagship sports infrastructure projects ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which the country will co-host with Kenya and Tanzania.
The stadium features VVIP sections, an indoor arena, a swimming pool, modern changing rooms with gyms, volleyball and basketball courts, media conference halls, a hybrid turf, a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) room, FIFA and CAF offices, referee rooms, training grounds, a media gallery, and parking space for nearly 1,000 vehicles. The government contracted SUMMA in June last year to construct the 20,000-seater multi-purpose stadium in preparation for the 2027 AFCON.
Located in Kyarwiru Cell, Hoima East Division, the stadium is among the venues selected to host matches during the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. URN brings you highlights of the grand opening ceremony in pictures.
