Turkish construction giants SUMMA are making impressive strides on Uganda’s second national stadium in Hoima City with progress advancing at an extraordinary pace.
During the third project inspection, the team comprising National Council of Sports (NCS) Assistant General Secretary for Administration Joseph Oluga, Engineering Officer Nicholas Zirimenya and supervising consultants from the Ministry of Works and Transport—expressed satisfaction with the ongoing developments.
SUMMA, entrusted with delivering the $129 million multi-sports complex within an 18-month timeframe, is now projected to complete the project earlier than anticipated. Sources close to the project reveal that roofing of the stadium is expected to be finalized by March.
The state-of-the-art facility will feature a 20,000-seater main stadium, a 2,000-seater indoor multi-sports arena, a semi-Olympic swimming pool, a training pitch, outdoor courts for basketball, netball, and volleyball, as well as parking for over 1,000 vehicles. Several sections of the complex are already taking shape.
Hoima City is among Uganda's selected host cities for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. This accelerated development positions the city to meet international standards and showcase continental football's pinnacle event.
