Lira's 20,000-seat ground is the third of Uganda's main venues and the furthest from finished: CAF's infrastructure monitoring officer has it due for completion and commissioning in December. Compensation for the roads serving the site is the outstanding obstacle rather than the stands themselves, which have been photographed in advance of handover.
