It is intended to be used for the first time during the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations soccer tournament.
The stadium is one of the three that Uganda plans to use during the tournament, which will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The stadium is located in Mparo Division, in the city of Hoima, in the Bunyoro sub-region, in the Western Region of Uganda. The proposed stadium will sit on a total of 34.9 acres (14.1 ha), of which 10 acres (4.0 ha) were donated by the Estate of the late Dr. Rujumba, and another 10 acres (4.0 ha) were sold to the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) by the same estate.
The remaining 14.9 acres (6.0 ha) were acquired by the Uganda National Council of Sports. Hoima Sports Stadium is primarily intended for soccer matches, although other sports such as athletics are also expected to be practiced here.
The stadium has a proposed seated capacity of 20,000.
The primary purpose of this stadium is to be part of the three host stadia that Uganda will use to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations in a tri-state-host tournament to be held in the East African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Construction started in August 2024, with completion expected in December 2025.
