Hoima stadium progress fuels excitement for AFCON 2027

Construction of Hoima City Stadium, one of Uganda’s flagship projects ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, has reached a milestone with officials confirming that the multi-sport facility is now more than 92 percent complete.

The latest progress report comes after workers finished laying down the stadium’s running track — the final major feature of the playing surface. For the National Council of Sports (NCS), this is a turning point in a project that has attracted national attention.

“Hoima City Stadium is a thing of beauty,” the NCS said in a statement, pointing to the speed and quality of construction. “We are proud of what this means for the country.”

The stadium, rising in the heart of Uganda’s Bunyoro sub-region, is being built by Turkish construction firm SUMMA. Originally projected for handover in December 2025, the company has hinted at the possibility of an earlier completion. Recent updates on the project’s social media platforms show the roofing of the indoor arena completed and advanced floodlighting systems already in place, giving the venue a sleek, modern feel.

Sports analysts across Africa have been watching closely. Africa View Facts, a regional sports commentary outlet, described the site as “one of the fastest-built stadiums in Africa, on course to be completed in record time and ready to host major international events.”

The sense of urgency is not lost on local communities. Residents in Hoima speak of new jobs, hotels filling up, and businesses springing to life in anticipation of visitors. “This stadium is not just for football,” said one local business owner. “It’s about opportunity. People here are already preparing.”

Uganda is set to co-host AFCON 2027 with Kenya and Tanzania, making the Hoima venue a centerpiece of the tournament. Beyond football, officials see it as part of a broader strategy to expand sports infrastructure and boost tourism in western Uganda.

Still, questions remain over the official handover date. The government has yet to make an announcement, but with completion edging closer, expectations are high. For Uganda’s sports community, the project is a signal that the country is serious about hosting — and competing — at the highest levels.

The final touches now stand between a construction site and what many hope will be a lasting legacy. If the pace continues, Hoima City Stadium may soon symbolize more than preparation for a tournament. It could mark a turning point in how Uganda sees its future in global sport.
