With both Mandela National Stadium, Namboole and Nakivubo undergoing refurbishment, St. Mary’s has been the go-to facility for Ugandan clubs and national teams.
By the time the CAF Confederation Cup Preliminaries start in August, KCCA FC will not have a standard stadium certified to host action of that magnitude.
The MTN Omondi Stadium is yet to get past its first phase of construction and can be referred to as a construction site at the moment.
That leaves the club with only one option, which is outsourcing for a facility that meets the standards set by CAF.

As the Kasasiro Boys go in search of their first piece of silverware since 2019, KCCA has decided to break tradition in the appointment of their technical staff, looking outside rather than working with former players.
And they are not many in Uganda. St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende, home to rivals Vipers SC, is the only facility that meets the set standards in Uganda.
It is also the closest KCCA can access.
While appearing on NBS Sport Friday morning, club chairman Martin Ssekajja hinted at the Kasasiro Boys hosting their CAF home games in Kitende.
