Hoima City – The construction of the highly anticipated Hoima City Stadium has reached a significant milestone, with over 60% of the project now complete, according to updates shared by government officials and the Ministry of Education and Sports.

During a site visit on May 9, 2025, members of the local organising committee (LOC) for the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN 2025) and Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2027) expressed satisfaction with the stadium’s progress.

The 34-acre, Shs473 billion project is scheduled to be completed and handed over by Turkish contractor SUMMA on December 22, 2025—just 235 days away.

Major works, including roofing, seating installation, and electrical wiring, are underway, with approximately 1,000 workers operating in shifts around the clock to maintain construction momentum.

Hon. Peter Ogwang, Minister of State for Education and Sports (Sports), who led the inspection, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to delivering world-class sports infrastructure. He was joined by National Council of Sports General Secretary Bernard Patrick Ogwel and Board Chairman Ambrose Tashobya during the visit.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who visited the site in March alongside First Lady Janet Museveni, emphasised Hoima’s strategic selection over Akii-Bua Stadium due to the area’s growing infrastructure, including a nearby airport under construction.

“For historical reasons, we initially planned to develop Akii-Bua Stadium before others. However, after our successful AFCON bid, Hoima was chosen due to its existing infrastructure and potential for economic growth,” President Museveni stated. “I encourage the private sector to support this development by investing in hospitality and related services.”

Hoima City Stadium is one of several venues being constructed or renovated across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania in preparation for AFCON 2027 — a historic joint East African hosting of the prestigious continental tournament.

With eyes firmly on December 2025, Uganda’s preparations for the tournament signal a broader commitment to sports-led development and regional integration.
