General Muhoozi Kainerugaba swung by the finished Hoima City Stadium and told sports officials to keep everything pristine before Uganda co-hosts the Africa Cup of Nations with Kenya and Tanzania. The 20,000-seat venue got wrapped up five months early after 18 months of construction, and President Museveni will officially open it soon. Project Manager Murat Altun, SUUMA Chairman Selim Bora, Sports Minister Peter Ogwang, and Hoima City's mayor tagged along for the walkthrough.
Kainerugaba checked out VIP sections, a semi-Olympic pool, locker rooms, a training pitch, and a 2,000-seat indoor arena before saying the facility needs to become the standard for future builds. He wants young Ugandan athletes getting top-tier equipment if they're going to compete internationally, and the stadium sits in an oil-rich region that should benefit economically from hosting matches.
