KAMPALA UGANDA | The stunning Hamz Stadium, constructed by entrepreneur Hamis Kiggundu, has left a remarkable impression on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) inspectors in anticipation of the CHAN and AFCON 2027 tournaments.
This marks the third inspection visit, following previous ones in August 2023 and February 2024, which was preceded by praise from the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports during her visit in February 2024.
The stadium, meeting stringent standards for hosting top-tier football events, underwent meticulous scrutiny by the CAF inspectors.
They meticulously evaluated various aspects, including the quality of the playing surface, modern floodlights, dressing rooms, spectator seating, media facilities, and amenities such as television sets and refreshments.
The inspection also covered perimeter areas, parking facilities, washrooms, restaurants, outlets, and access roads.
Ham’s careful construction ensured effective water flow during rainy periods, earning commendation from the inspectors. With the inspection concluded, Uganda eagerly anticipates co-hosting CHAN and AFCON 2027 alongside Kenya and Tanzania, with President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni scheduled to commission the stadium soon
