FUFA President Eng Moses Magogo has confirmed that Uganda currently has no stadium to host the forthcoming AFCON Qualifiers.
This means that the Uganda Cranes will have no option but to host the games away from Uganda.

It should be noted that the Cranes have been using the St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende as the home ground for the AFCON and World Cup Qualifiers.
Mandela National Stadium, Namboole has been under renovation and doesn’t qualify to host the qualifiers.
Uganda will be taking on neighbors Tanzania in a double header in the AFCON Qualifiers in March.
The Cranes will also take on Algeria and Niger to conclude the qualification campaign.
