Kalamagi Memorial Stadium (KMS) is a premier and most-versatile convention, sports, and entertainment complex in Mpigi District found 52km on the Kampala – Masaka Highway. The KMS is uniquely comprised of a 100,000-seater capacity stadium with a track and field facility to host IAAF events, conferences halls, office space, basketball & volleyball courts, lawn tennis court, table tennis, gardens and plenty of parking space. The Stadium operates hostel facilities and 300 room five-star hotel. At the KMS adaptability, hospitality and distinct service all meet to provide a world-class experience. The uniqueness of KMS is apparent in the flexibility of its facilities, with each offering different opportunities to host all kinds of events.

The KMS project is expected to be part of the facilities for the Joint hosting of the African Cup of Nations in 2027. The facility is a family project based on the needs assessment done on the sports infrastructure in the country. The country still has a sports and entertainment facilities deficit. Therefore, the Kalamagi family identified the opportunity to participate in the sports infrastructure development of the country. The family availed 23 acres of land in Butenga Village, Kanyike Parish, Kamengo Sub County, Mpigi District in Uganda for the establishment of a Memorial Stadium in honor of their father Mr. Kalamagi Kalim at a cost US $50bn from the G-54C Public Markets Group Africa.

The stadium has the largest capacity in Uganda and Africa and is one of the top ten largest football stadiums in the world. The stadium is built with the seating capacity of 100,000. The facility will host some of the games of the African cup of nations 2027, the African Cup/champion league finals, African Cup winners and various Confederation of African Football (CAF) Championships. The Stadium will host Championships of various disciplines such as Volleyball, Basketball, and netball. It will also host other events such as concerts, mass prayers, conventions of political parties among others.

The motivation of KMS is to create memorable sporting, recreational and entertainment activities by providing an ultra-modern stadium with adequate sporting facilities for both local and international events. KMSL commits to:

1. Offer the greatest architectural piece focusing on turning sports and entertainments events into intimate experiences that are memorable and exceptional;
2. Advance organizational flexibility and corporate governance through the quality of human resource;
3. Advance the partnerships and associations with Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of Government to be able to create prospects for KMS and optimize the use of KMSL’s facilities; and
