The Fufa Communications Director Ahmed Hussein noted: “With the unavailability of Caf standard Stadiums for hosting matches of these magnitudes, our option is to implore using venues outside the country until the Mandela National Stadium is completed,” adding: “The other option St. Mary’s stadium Kitende is not available for use as it is undergoing renovation works.”
