Just Hours After Kenya Announced Bayern Munich vs Ajax Match, Uganda’s KSh 17B Stadium Video Emerges

Uganda has sent football fans talking after a stunning aerial video of its KSh 17 billion Hoima City Stadium emerged online, just days after Kenya announced a major European football showdown.

The timing has caught the attention of many East Africans, with the region preparing to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The video, which circulated online on October 26, offers a sweeping view of the impressive facility, showcasing its circular design, green surroundings, athletics track and expansive parking areas.

For many viewers, the footage was more than just a look at a stadium. It offered a glimpse of Uganda’s growing investment in sports infrastructure as East Africa prepares for one of the continent’s biggest football tournaments.

Hoima City Stadium, estimated to have cost approximately KSh 17 billion, has become a talking point because of its striking appearance and the timing of its emergence.

The incident sparked reactions online, as attention shifted towards the football facilities being developed across the region.

Kenya had recently announced that European giants Bayern Munich and Ajax would face each other in the opening match at the new Raila Odinga Stadium on January 5, 2027.

The announcement generated excitement among Kenyan football fans, who are looking forward to seeing internationally recognised clubs play on home soil.

Now, Uganda’s stadium video has added another dimension to the conversation, placing the two countries’ sporting ambitions in the spotlight.

As AFCON 2027 approaches, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are preparing to welcome football supporters from across Africa. Their investments in stadiums and related infrastructure are expected to play an important role in delivering a memorable tournament.

Many people were left talking, while supporters appeared divided over which country’s sporting developments deserve the most attention.

What happened next surprised many, as the video became part of a wider discussion about East Africa’s readiness to host major international football events.
