}}Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium, commonly referred to as Nakivubo Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Kampala, Uganda. It is currently used mostly for football matches and serves as the home venue of SC Villa. The stadium had a capacity of 30,000 people, after the 2013 renovations, but prior to the ongoing 2017 renovations.[1]

Location

The stadium is located in the Central Business District of Kampala City next Saint Balikuddembe Market, within a walking distance from the Old Taxi Park.[2] It sits on two adjacent parcels of land measuring {{convert|11.62|acre|m2}} and {{convert|0.835|acre|m2}}, totaling {{convert|12.455|acre|m2}}.[3] The geographical coordinates of the stadium are:0°18'42.0"N, 32°34'25.0"E (Latitude:0.311667; Longitude:32.573611).[4]

History

The stadium that was initially established in 1926,[6] was improved and modernized in 1954 by the British colonial government to commemorate the lives of Ugandans killed during the Second World War following the passage of the "Nakivubo War Memorial Act" by the Parliament of Uganda.[5]

In early 2013, the stadium was closed by the Uganda Revenue Authority for a period of about one month, over "accumulated debts." It was re-opened after payment arrangements had been agreed upon.[6]

The stadium was also shut down in May 2011, but re-opened after only a week after payment plans were negotiated.[7][8]

The stadium was reopened and hosted the third round, second leg of the CAF U-17 Championship, a game between Uganda and Zambia, on 27 September 2014.[9]

Overview

Nakivubo Stadium was developed in 1926 on land donated by the Kabaka of Buganda at the time.[10] It hosted its first match on 1 April 1926 between the Uganda National Team and the Under-18 National team of Uganda.[11] It owned by the Government of Uganda and is operated by the Board of Trustees known as the "Registered Trustees of Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium", appointed by the Minister of Sports.[10]

2017 Renovations

In 2017, major renovations began at the stadium, involving improvement to the grounds, increasing seating from 30,000 to 35,000 and the construction of retail shops inside the outside walls of the facility. The renovations are a joint venture between he government of Uganda and Ham Enterprises, a local enterprise, headed by Ham Kiggundu. ROKO Construction are carrying out the work, began in June 2017 and expected to conclude in 2019, at an estimated cost of US$49 million.[12] SC Villa and Police SC moved their games as a result of the renovation.[13]
