Kitara Football Club will host their 2024/25 TotalEnergies CAF Confederations Cup matches at Mandela National Stadium in Namboole.
This was confirmed by the club president Mr. Deo Kasozi through an interview with the club media.
The Brian Ssenyondo coached side qualified for the CAF Confederations Cup after being crowned Stanbic Uganda Champions following a 1-0 victory over NEC FC in the finals.
” We are going to use Mandela National stadium, Namboole to host our CAF Confederations Cup matches which start next month. We have already agreed with the parties concerned and everything is in place for us to use the newly refurbished facility,” Kasozi said.
” The upcoming FUFA Super 8 competition will be essential in our preparations for continental football and we hope to give it our best.”
The Royals used Masindi stadium located in the neighboring district of Masindi as their home ground season but will have to travel over 200 kilometers to Namboole since it is one of the two stadiums the were approved to host CAF interclub competitions in Uganda.
Kitara’s first game at Namboole will be on August 3, against KCCA FC in the FUFA Super 8 before facing a yet to be known team from Libya in the first preliminary round of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederations Cup between 16-18 August.
