Lugogo Stadium, also known as Lugogo Cricket Oval, is a cricket ground in Kampala, Uganda. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1957 when Kenya Asians played Sunder Cricket Club. It has also gained popularity as a music concert venue in Uganda. In that same year Uganda first used the ground when the national team played the Sunder Cricket Club.[1] The ground held its inaugural first-class match when an East African Invitation XI played the touring Marylebone Cricket Club in 1963. A further first-class match followed in 1967 when a combined East Africa team played the touring Indians. The next first-class matches to be held on the ground didn't come until 2005, when Uganda played two matches there in the Intercontinental Cup against Kenya and Namibia.[2] The Lugogo Stadium is the only cricket venue in Uganda to have held first-class cricket. Surrounding the cricket ground there are tennis courts and a football ground which is the home ground of Kampala City Council FC. The stadium is scheduled for redevelopment in 2024.[3]
