As of this morning, I got an email from Cairo (Caf) informing me that the inspectors will be here from February 26 to inspect Namboole, Nakivubo and other facilities which will be earmarked for purposes of Chan competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three countries were announced as Chan 2024 hosts on December 17, 2023 by Caf. There has been silence about the competition. However, yesterday\u2019s events explained a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Education and sports minister First Lady Janet Museveni and Ogwang inspected both stadiums Nakivubo and Namboole and the latter rallied the new NCS board to serve diligently ahead of a busy spell involving the African Games in Ghana next month, Chan and the 2027 Afcon finals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour appointment offers you a unique opportunity to serve Uganda under the sports sector,\u201d added Ogwang.
