Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium ban lifted, to host games again

Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium has now been passed fit to host Uganda Premier League (UPL) matches again.

The historic stadium has not hosted any top-flight games since November 2019 when the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) club licensing committee suspended its use due to the poor state of the facility.

Fufa CEO Edgar Watson alongside the Uefa pitch and maintenance expert Philip Fifield were part of the officers who inspected the stadium and approved it to host top-flight games.
