Amahoro Stadium is an international-standard facility, providing Rwanda with the opportunity to stand out in terms of sports infrastructure. Every day, as you visit the construction site, new progress is evident.
The construction work, which started 22 months ago, began with the demolition of certain parts of the existing structure and the addition of new sections, making it difficult to recognize the original stadium’s location compared to where the new one stands now with 45000 seats capacity.
The Mandela National Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Uganda. It is named after the former South African President and anti-apartheid icon, Nelson Mandela. The stadium's record attendance of 50,000 was set in 2004, in a football match between the national football teams of Uganda and South Africa.
The stadium is located on Namboole Hill in Kira Municipality, Wakiso District. The stadium is approximately 11 kilometres, by road, east of the central business district of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.
Mandela National Stadium is mainly used for soccer matches, although other sports such as athletics are also practised.
