I would like to confirm that last month, we requested CAF to come and conduct an assessment of the state of our sports facilities-@mandelastadium and @HoimaStadium as part of the quality control & assurance measure ahead of the AFCON 2027.
It is true that CAF, in their report, cited a few gaps, specifically on Hoima Stadium and such gaps have been brought to the attention of the contractor-SUMMA. Indeed, the contractor has since held several meetings with us and has hands on deck to ensure that the issues raised are addressed in due course to the satisfaction of the CAF requirements and standards before the next inspection in August this year.
On other infrastructural gaps, such as airport, roads and hotels, which are outside the ambit of Education and Sports sector, the Minister of Education and Sports, Hon @JanetMuseveni, who is the Chairperson of the Inter-Ministerial Committee for AFCON, submitted a cabinet paper where government agreed to provide additional resources to address such challenges.
I want to reassure the public that government of Uganda, together with Kenya and Tanzania under the "East Africa Pamoja" bid is fully committed to ensuring that the AFCON 2027 campaign is a success.
Some of our GCSE PE students recently undertook athletics testing at Mandela National Stadium, applying their training in a professional sporting environment.
@KabojjaSchool is committed to nurturing well rounded learners through both academic & holistic development.
The road to greatness starts here!
