The First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Mrs. Janet Kataaha Museveni has toured Nakivubo stadium that has been reconstructed by businessman Hamis Kiggundu under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) deal.
The stadium is expected to be commission by President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda.
The playing turf and seats have already been installed, and the engineers have erected goalposts and laid the foundations for the floodlights.
A FIFA-licensed Swiss company specializing in goal-line technology has recently assessed the stadium with the possibility of deploying goal line technology at the facility which has a sitting capacity of 35,000 people .
In terms of Nakivubo’s redevelopment progress, which was initially approved by President Museveni in 2015 but only commenced in 2021, the stadium will have boardrooms and conference facilities, changing rooms, rooms for indoor games, an athletics track, a gym, a netball, basketball courts, a hotel, and multi-level parking for up to 9,600 cars.
