The renovation of Namboole Stadium has been in progress since 2021, and its opening is anticipated for November this year.

The installation of seats at the Nelson Mandela National Stadium, Namboole will be starting anytime from now, giving an impression that it won't be too long before it gets busy again.

The renovation of Namboole Stadium has been in progress since 2021, and its opening is anticipated for November this year.

"During my recent visit to the Mandela National Stadium, I had the opportunity to evaluate the progression of the renovation works firsthand," the Minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni was quoted by Daily Monitor a while back.

"In light of these significant undertakings, I have approved an extension for these intervention efforts, shifting the initial completion date from August 1 to November 30, 2023.

And, in recent images and videos shared by FUFA President Moses Magogo, all the seats have been procured and are being put in place.

It should be noted that Namboole was presented in Uganda's joint bid for the hosting of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

The facility was approved to host games when the prestigious tournament gets to be hosted in Uganda, along with Kenya and Tanzania.

However, it's still not certain whether the set November dates will do full completion, as various postponements have already been made previously.
