There is a difference between a renovation, remodeling, facelift & capacity upgrade.
Phase 1 of Nambole then was a renovation. Phase 2 is now a remodeling (structural & floor changes), facelift (update of aesthetics) & capacity upgrade (increase in number of seats & facilities).

[Jamil Sewanyana @jmsewanyana]

FYI - Mandela National Stadium is not the most renovated.
Phase I was renovation and upgrade of the stadium following the failure to meet CAF standards in 2019.
Phase II is expansion and further upgrades to enable the stadium host AFCON 2027 as per CAF standards.

URSB is ready for the #IndependenceMarathon2026 at Namboole on 4 Oct. The big question is 42.2KM? 21.1KM? 10KM? Or 5KM?

The marathon, dubbed #SaveAMother, will support the Mengo Hospital Blood Bank to improve blood storage for lifesaving transfusions.

So, pick your distance, lace up, and let’s meet at Namboole!

I went to drop off @Kasuku256’s kit for the @imarathonug on Sunday October 4th at @mandelastadium. I sat on the side & watched him & Zubeda recording #LusekeNyamNyam. A truly hilarious way to spend the morning but also watch them innovate content in the fly. Gone are the days of producers, sound engineers & the whole crew that worked on studio recordings. They were under a tree with one camera, a simple wooden table with no drawers. It is genius. We ended up doing an impromptu recording & video dropping soon on a platform near you🫣🤣. @stanbicug @OldMutualUganda @TMR_IntHospital @Nivana_Uganda @drkasenene

It should go down the history lane, that at one time, I was the only spectator that watched a football game involving @SCVillaJogoo at Mandela stadium, Nambole. I don’t know where Mr. Football was!!

Exactly 10 years ago today.

The Uganda Cranes ended a 38-year wait and secured qualification for AFCON 2017.

A historic moment. A generation defining celebration. A memory that will forever live in Ugandan football.

Share those memories below.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Royal Family and the People of Tooro Kingdom on the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru IV.

King Oyo was a football and Sports lover who always watched the @UgandaCranes games @mandelastadium whenever he was in Kampala and the country.

He was involved in projects of talent identification and development in his Kingdom through the Annual Tooro Kingdom Inter-Clan Football Competitions.

On 31st March, 2026, as the Minister of State for Education and Sports (Sports), I visited the Kingdom on the Directive of my Senior Minister and H.E the President to follow up on the Land the King had agreed to donate to Government to Construct the Stadium (Buhinga).I too officiated at the official opening of this year’s Annual Tooro Kingdom Inter - Clan Competitions.
I held discussions with the leadership of the Kingdom on H.E.President’s pledge, the Buhinga Stadium project. The King donated land for the Construction of Stadium.On behalf of the Minister of Education and Sports, and H.E the President, The @GovUganda will fulfill the pledge to the Kingdom and the people of Tooro.

May His Saul Rest In Eternal Peace.

[Mandela National Stadium @mandelastadium]
