Bombo Barracks Ground
Kampala, Uganda
Bombo Barracks Ground sits inside a military compound in Kampala. The barracks themselves date back to 1906, established during the colonial era, though the specific year the football pitch was laid remains unrecorded. This shared space means the ground is never truly empty; it is part of a functioning base.
It serves as the primary home for Uganda People's Defence Force FC. The venue has hosted matches for major sides like SC Villa and KCCA FC, particularly for derbies or cup ties. Teams such as Express FC, URA FC, and Gaddafi FC have also played fixtures here. In match reports, it appears under various names—Bombo Barracks Stadium or Bombo Military Barracks Playgrounds—but no formal sponsorship renaming has taken place.
Bare patches and waterlogging led to the venue being rejected for hosting top-flight matches due to deficiencies in sanitation and media facilities. Notable events include a 2022 international practice match where the Uganda Cranes defeated UPDF FC 2–1, and a 2013–14 Uganda Cup tie where Bombo United FC lost 0–1 to The Saints FC.
There is no official spectator capacity on record, nor is there a highest attendance figure.
