Kakyeka Stadium is the stadium located in Mbarara City in Western Region, Uganda.[3] The Stadium is in the West side of the main city and it has the capacity of 1,500 people. It is the home ground for Mbarara City FC.[4]
In 2016, the government of Uganda had a plan to be improve all stadia in every region and a new Kakyeka was to be constructed on another big in piece of land in Mbarara.[5]
In 2020, the Ministry of Sports gave out 10 million shillings to the Municipal council to redevelop it, but later on the Turkish investors pulled out of the interest.[6][3]
In 2018, Mbarara City FC was even banished by FUFA licensing committee to play in The Uganda Premier League over the failure to meet the standards at which Kakyeka Stadium was meant for the team to use as their home ground to host in the league[7] This also caused bitter rows between football lovers and the administration of Mbarara District due to use of it to host crusades and other events without maintaining the standards.[8] The stadium is also known for hosting annual celebrations for 100.2 Fm Radio West in Mbarara, dubbed Ekinihiro Kya Radio West.[9]
