Uganda Rugby Union conducted a site inspection at Mutesa II Stadium on Wednesday, March 11 as preparations intensified for the opening fixtures of the 2026 Enterprise Cup.

Officials from the union visited the venue to assess facilities and coordinate match day arrangements as the tournament draws closer. The inspection focused on ensuring the stadium is ready to host the opening round fixtures involving Ugandan representatives.
Four Ugandan clubs will compete in this year’s tournament. Stanbic Black Pirates and Platinum Credit Heathens will play their quarterfinal matches in Kampala against Kenya’s KCB Rugby and Kabras Sugar Rugby Club respectively.
Meanwhile, Toyota Buffaloes and KCB KOBs will travel to Kenya for their ties against Menengai Oilers and Nondescripts RFC.
