The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has granted the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) request to host the 1st leg of the 2024 Women’s Olympic qualifier against Rwanda at Kigali Pele Stadium on 12th July 2023.
FUFA has already received confirmation from the Federation of Rwanda Football Association (FERWAFA) of the availability of the Stadium.
The FUFA Communications Director Ahmed Hussein noted, ‘With unavailability of CAF standard Stadiums for hosting matches of these magnitude, our option is to explore using venues outside the country until the Mandela National stadium is completed. The other option St. Mary’s stadium Kitende is not available for use as it is undergoing renovation works.’
The first leg between Uganda’s Crested Cranes and Rwanda’s She Amavubi will be played on 12th July 2023 at 4pm Rwanda Local time (5pm EAT).
