Uganda’s Sports Federations and Associations Given June 2025 Deadline for Fresh Registration

Hon. Peter Ogwang speaking at a recent media briefing

State Minister for Sport Peter Ogwang has said the Hoima City Stadium will be the “best Christmas gift” Ugandans can expect this year, as the project enters its final stretch.

Ogwang said this as he shared updates from Turkish contractor SUMMA, confirming that several key installations are already complete, with full handover expected ahead of schedule.

The sound system, floodlights, landscaping, and furnishing of changing rooms are all finished, while murals and other art features, including a giant Uganda flag mural, have also been completed.

Finishing touches are ongoing across the facility, with work now concentrated on laying the tartan athletics track around the main football pitch and finalizing the indoor arena.

The $129 million project, fully funded by oil revenues, is central to Uganda’s preparations for co-hosting the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

Once complete, it will feature a 20,000-seater main stadium, a 2,000-capacity indoor arena, training pitches, a semi-Olympic swimming pool, and outdoor courts.

Relatedly, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda, Prof. Augustus Nuwagaba earlier this week, led a delegation from Bank of Uganda and the Petroleum Authority of Uganda on a tour of the stadium as part of their visit to the Albertine Graben.

Bank of Uganda, as the custodian of the Petroleum Fund, is directly tied to the financing of the project and its wider economic impact in the oil-rich region.
