CHAN 2024: Namboole Gets Hybrid Grass Upgrade Ahead of Tournament

Mandela National Stadium, Namboole, is undergoing a major upgrade as preparations intensify for Uganda’s co-hosting duties at the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

The latest highlight of the renovation is the integration of the natural grass playing surface with a cutting-edge hybrid grass system.

The hybrid grass, which combines natural grass with synthetic fibers, is designed to offer a durable and consistent pitch capable of withstanding harsh weather and heavy use.

Over the weekend, a specialised machine was seen meticulously stitching green artificial fibers into the natural grass.

Once complete, the synthetic fibers will form only 5% of the surface, preserving the natural feel while boosting durability.

This significant upgrade is part of broader renovations at Namboole, which reopened on May 1, 2024.

The stadium will serve as Uganda’s sole venue for the CHAN tournament, set to take place from February 1-28, 2025.

Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania will jointly host the tournament, with Namboole supported by four training grounds: the outside pitch at Namboole, Kampala International School of Uganda (KISU) pitch, Muteesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku, and the FUFA Stadium in Kadiba.

FUFA President Hon. Moses Magogo recently revealed additional upgrades to the stadium during an appearance on NBS Sport.

He announced the installation of new, higher-quality floodlights to replace the old ones previously used during matches.

“Namboole has been improved. For instance, new standard lights have been installed to replace those we have been using for our recent games,” Magogo stated.

Inclusivity and safety have also been prioritized in the renovations.

Seats for individuals with disabilities have been installed near the pitch to promote accessibility, while new evacuation points have been added to enhance safety during emergencies.
