Security agencies in Kampala are preparing for a safe and successful match between Uganda Cranes and Senegal at Namboole Stadium on August 23, 2025. Authorities have announced that security personnel will be deployed on all routes leading to the stadium, with strict measures across the entire Kampala Metropolitan area. Fans are advised to plan their journey early, especially those traveling via the Jinja-Kampala Highway and surrounding areas, to avoid delays.
Stadium gates will open at midday, and supporters are encouraged to arrive early to prevent congestion at the entrances. Specific cut-off points for boda boda riders have been set to help manage traffic. Riders coming from the city center via Jinja-Kampala Highway will be stopped at Banda, while those coming from the Jinja side will face a cut-off at Kazinga Bweyogerere. This system is intended to ensure smooth movement and avoid overcrowding near the stadium.
Fans without tickets are strongly advised not to come to Namboole, as tickets will not be sold at the stadium on match day. Supporters should secure their tickets beforehand to avoid disappointment. Additionally, security agencies have issued a health advisory for fans with underlying medical conditions. Previous matches have seen some fans faint or require medical attention due to excitement or stress. Attendees with heart problems, high blood pressure, or other health concerns should take extra care while enjoying the game.
With these measures in place, authorities hope that fans will enjoy the thrilling match between Uganda Cranes and Senegal in a safe and organized environment. Planning ahead, arriving early, and following security instructions will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
