The Federation of Uganda Football Associations-FUFA is considering four countries to host the Uganda Cranes ahead of the 2023 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.


Decolas Kiiza, the FUFA Deputy CEO in charge of Football says that they are eying Egypt, Malawi, Zambia, and South Africa. Uganda is set to host Tanzania in a double fixture that will take place within eight days in March 2023.

It comes a few days after FUFA President Moses Magogo announced last week that St. Mary’s stadium Kitende had failed the CAF requirements to host the Uganda Cranes' matches.

St Mary’s has been Uganda Cranes’ home ground for two years since CAF blacklisted Mandela National stadium- Namboole. In East Africa, only Tanzania has a CAF-approved stadium but Kiiza said they cannot risk playing two games in one stadium.

Among the queries raised by Inspectors from the Continental Soccer governing body about St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende include issues of safety and security control.
