According to Rogers Byamukama, a FUFA executive member, the Turkish contractors MS Suuma already asked FUFA to invite CAF and FIFA to come and certify the work so that they can finally hand over the project to the government.
Byamukama ruled out the possibility of CAF rejecting the stadium noting that Ms Suuma is a reputable company that has put right everything as was put in the contract.
He noted that after the stadium, the focus is going to be on constructing the training grounds that include Masindi stadium, Booma grounds in Hoima, sir Tito in Hoima which are very crucial.
Byamukama however asked people to continue investing in the hospitality sector saying they still have a gap in the region.
