Fifa and Caf banned the Nelson Mandela Stadium, also known as Namboole, following an inspection visit in March 2020.
In arriving at this decision, the inspectors indicated the state of the pitch, pavilion, dressing rooms were way below the minimum required standards.
“In the current circumstances, Uganda only has St. Mary’s Kitende (stadium),” confirmed Harrison Obua, the country’s state minister for sports.
“If the inspection team for the World Cup team does not approve it, I want to put our country on notice that it will have no option but to host the World Cup qualification matches in one of the countries outside Uganda.”
