The Federation of Uganda’s Football Association (FUFA) has
announced that the Uganda Cranes Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match
against Algeria, scheduled for June 2023, will be played in Cameroon.
\This decision comes after FUFA inspected the Mandela
National Stadium and confirmed that it is not yet ready to host the qualifiers. The stadium was expected to undergo major renovations,
but as of Monday, 24th April 2023, there was no significant update as far as
the renovation is concerned.
This will be the second time this year that
Uganda is hosting its home games away from home. The first was their first leg
against Tanzania, which was hosted at the Suez Canal Authority Stadium in
Egypt.
According to FUFA's press statement, the deadline set by the
Confederation of African Football (CAF) for all federations to submit names of
venues to be used for the qualifiers was Tuesday, 25th April 2023. As a result,
FUFA had to make a quick decision and chose Cameroon.
