The State Minister for Sports, Peter Ogwang has called on the government to financially support KCCA FC in completing the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo.
In 2021, KCCA FC hired Sarjan Construction to upgrade the stadium, which included the addition of a VIP stand.
However, the club, which had initially projected to finish the construction works by 2023, has faced several setbacks, such as design changes, logistical issues, and unexpected scheduling conflicts.
During a session in Parliament, Minister Ogwang appealed for government's financial support towards KCCA FC to help the Lugogo-based club finalize its stadium construction.
"I want to appeal to you to support KCCA in completing Omondi stadium. It's very important, it adds to the infrastructure of our sport," Ogwang told Parliament.
Furthermore, Ogwang urged government support for the club to acquire a new bus, pointing out that the current one is outdated and reminiscent of the 18th century.
He wondered why some schools, like Bukedea Comprehensive, could have better transportation than a prominent football club like KCCA.
"KCCA is our capital. Look at a school like Bukedea Comprehensive, AMUS College, having a better bus than the one of KCCA FC. If you look at that bus (KCCA's), it is of generation of the 18th century," Ogwang said.
He added, "I appeal to you to support the KCCA to have that facility completed and help the team get a new bus."
Despite KCCA FC Chairman Eng. Andrew Serunjogi Mukiibi's assurances that the stand would be finished by December 2024, the stadium remains incomplete as of April 2025.
In a recent exclusive interview with NBS Sport, KCCA FC's chief executive Anisha Muhoozi explained that one of the primary reasons for the delay had been the need to modify the original construction designs.
“Construction is very tricky. You project something, but then you encounter challenges along the way,” she said.
“There have been some delays, but they are very explainable. When you’re building something on plan and you find that it won’t necessarily work, you have to make some tweaks.”
