Namboole stadium aka the Mandela National Stadium is in huge trouble after CAF officials following FIFA standards declaring it not to be a worthy stadium for football ?.
The CAF officials who included Emmanuel Newton Dasoberi and Owofen Daniel Amokachi earlier this year in March are the ones who inspected the stadium and came up with that conclusion.
For a long time, there has always been talk from the sports ministry about how dilapidated our sports infrastructure is in the country but the government has always given the talk a deaf ear.

Particularly namboole stadium was said to be in a very bad state in that even when there was a highly attended football match let's say of the national team being played, the stadium would shake immensely when there is celebration of a Ugandan goal to the extent that some people would feel like the whole structure could to come down crumbling.
The good news however is that we have a stadium in Uganda that can be used and was certified by the same CAF officials, it is NOT the KCCA stadium as many of you would like to guess but it's Viper's St. Mary's Stadium in Kitende.

The other option is quite an embarrassing one for Uganda as a whole and that is to play our home games from any other country that has fit facilities for example our neighbors like Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda.
