The Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) have organised the Safe Stadium Initiative Training Programme that will take place at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole.
The three-day event, scheduled from November 19th to 21st, seeks to standardise safety and security operations across CAF Member Associations.
CAF and FIFA instructors for the security workshop include Dr. Christian Emeruwa (CAF Head of Safety and Security), Ababacar Sene (CAF Security Department), Khakame Alan Chikanimr (CAF Safety and Security Instructor) and Katherina Steinberg (FIFA Safety and Security Event Operations).
The key stakeholders invited to attend as participants at the workshop include representatives from the members of FUFA, local security agencies and stadium management teams.
Throughout the workshop, participants will engage in practical simulations of emergency scenarios, conduct risk assessments and access control.
The programme also aims to boost fan confidence and foster a culture of safety and professionalism in local football by aligning with CAF and FIFA safety guidelines. This in turn improves the overall match day experience.
The training will conclude with a closing ceremony, where participants will be awarded certificates of completion.
