Lango Parliamentary group has rejected the move by the government of Uganda to exclude Akii Bua Stadium from hosting Afcon 2027.

According to the group, the reasons given for lack of an airport and good roads are unjustifiable since construction of roads and airports are a function of government which it failed to fulfil in Lango sub-region despite several calls by its leaders to do so over the years, adding that the remaining three years are sufficient to have these requirements met.
In the resolution, the group has however distanced itself from the proposal to construct Akii Bua stadium in a phased manner since previous efforts to carry out the construction under such an arrangement failed to take off and the sub-region got a raw deal!
Lango Parliamentary Group now demands that the plan to construct Akii Bua Stadium to host AFCON 2027 be maintained and implemented within the timelines of the CAF bid.
And to resolve the matter, the Group demands an urgent meeting with the President of Uganda on the shocking exclusion of Akii-Bua Stadium from AFCON 2027, and to start with, a press conference will be held at Parliament on Wednesday the 15th of November 2023 at exactly 10AM.
