SUMMA has been tasked with completing the $129 million multi-sports complex within 18 months, but the current construction pace suggests they may deliver ahead of schedule.

The project encompasses a 20,000-seater main stadium, a 2,000-seater indoor multi-sports arena, a training pitch, a semi-Olympic-sized swimming pool, a 1,000-plus vehicle parking lot, and outdoor courts for basketball, netball, and volleyball.

These facilities are already taking shape, indicating a strong commitment to timely completion.

Hoima City has been earmarked as one of the host cities for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which is set to be co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.

The construction of this state-of-the-art stadium is a significant step towards enhancing Uganda’s sports infrastructure and ensuring a successful hosting of the prestigious continental football tournament.
