Kitara releases 16,000 tickets for their Mogadishu City CAF clash at Hoima City Stadium. See ticket prices, match dates and buying options.
Kitara vs Mogadishu City Match Preview
Kitara FC have intensified preparations for their continental campaign ahead of a highly anticipated meeting with Somalia’s Mogadishu City Club.
The first leg of the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round will be played at Hoima City Stadium on Sunday, September 6, 2026. The return leg is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, at the same venue.
The opening encounter will be the first continental club match staged at the new Hoima City Stadium. That makes the occasion significant for Kitara, the Bunyoro region, and Ugandan football as the Royals begin their pursuit of a place in the next qualifying round.
Kitara Confirm Ticket Categories and Prices
According to the NBS Sport ticket report, the 17,000-capacity stadium will have 16,000 ordinary tickets, each priced at UGX 20,000.
Another 856 VIP tickets will be sold for UGX 50,000 each. The remaining 144 places are located in the Sky VVIP section, which contains 12 private boxes accommodating 12 spectators each. Every box costs UGX 1 million.
Supporters can purchase tickets through Kitara’s online ticketing platform, the club’s main office in Hoima, or its Kinubi office. Fans have been encouraged to buy early because Kitara’s previous appearance at the stadium attracted a large crowd, with some supporters reportedly unable to enter.
Both Matches to Be Played in Hoima
Although Mogadishu City will officially be the home side in the opening leg, both matches will take place at Hoima City Stadium.
The Somali club selected the Ugandan venue because Somalia does not currently have a stadium approved to host CAF Confederation Cup matches. Kitara had already registered Hoima City Stadium as their continental home ground.
This arrangement gives the Royals the unusual benefit of playing both legs in familiar surroundings and potentially in front of thousands of their supporters. However, Kitara must still respect Mogadishu City and avoid assuming that venue familiarity guarantees qualification.
Kitara will handle gate collections for both encounters while also covering the expenses associated with hosting the Somali club.

Historic Moment for Hoima
Hoima City Stadium was constructed as part of Uganda’s preparations to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
During Kitara’s previous continental campaign, the club could not stage its home matches in Hoima and was forced to play away from its traditional support base. Approval to use the new facility therefore allows the Royals to bring African club football directly to Bunyoro.
The matches will also test the venue’s ticketing, security, hospitality and crowd-management operations. Visitors travelling to Hoima could benefit hotels, restaurants, transport providers and other local businesses.
Al Ahly Await the Winners
Kitara qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup after winning their second Uganda Cup title in three seasons.
Their immediate assignment is to overcome Mogadishu City across the two matches. The aggregate winner will advance to the second preliminary round, where Egyptian giants Al Ahly await.
CAF’s official Confederation Cup draw confirmed the possible second-round contest. The prospect increases interest in the tie, but Kitara must first concentrate on securing a positive aggregate result against Mogadishu City.
Betting Insights for Ugandan Football Fans
For Ugandan supporters aged 25 and above who choose to bet, Kitara’s familiarity with Hoima City Stadium and the possibility of strong home support may be considered when assessing the match-result market.
However, continental preliminary-round fixtures can be unpredictable, particularly when the teams have limited recent competitive history against each other. Mogadishu City remain the designated hosts for the first leg despite the match being staged in Uganda.
Supporters considering match-result, total-goals or qualification markets should check the confirmed starting line-ups, current odds and applicable market rules before making an assessment. Playing both legs in Hoima may favour Kitara, but it does not guarantee victory or progression.

Conclusion
The release of 16,000 ordinary tickets reflects the excitement surrounding Kitara’s continental return. Playing both legs in Hoima gives the Royals familiar conditions, but progression will depend on their performances across 180 minutes.
For Hoima, the matches provide an opportunity to host continental football, support local businesses and showcase the city’s new stadium to a wider African audience.
