AFCON 2027: Hoima faces accommodation and food shortages
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Nile Post
The arrival of football fans in Hoima for an AFCON 2027 qualifying match revealed limited accommodation and catering capacity. These difficulties have raised concerns about the city’s preparations to host the continental tournament, according to Nile Post.
The city of Hoima, in Uganda, experienced shortages of accommodation and food when fans arrived to watch Uganda’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Libya last month. Demand exceeded the available capacity around Hoima City Stadium.
The experience led local officials to call on the government to speed up funding promised to hotel owners to expand their establishments. They also urged investors to develop accommodation and catering services in Hoima and neighbouring areas ahead of AFCON 2027.
