MTN Omondi stadium, the home of Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club- KCCA FC will have floodlights in this current season of the Star-Times Uganda Premier League.
This is one of the key perks KCCA FC will get from their new principal shirt sponsor CHINT Electric in a three-year deal announced in a brief function at Mestil Hotel in Kampala on Monday. CHINT Electronics replaces SEE TV, KCCA FC’s previous shirt sponsor whose contract was prematurely terminated last week.
KCCA FC Chief Executive Officer Anisha Muhoozi said this is expected to boost the number of fans who watch their games because night football is more conducive for people who are fixed during the day.
Uganda Premier League is rarely played at night because of a shortage in the number of stadia with floodlights. Only the Mandela National Stadium in Namboole has floodlights at the moment. Muhoozi, however, said that the floodlights will not come in an instant, but expects them to be done by the kickoff of the second round.
