Kyadondo Rugby Club is a rugby union ground in Kampala, Uganda.

It was built in 2000. Facilities include the main ground, a training pitch and a club house.^[1]

The ground is home to several club teams, among them Heathens RFC, a leading rugby club in Uganda.^[2] The venue has also hosted home games of the Uganda national rugby union team, but the Uganda Rugby Union is considering hosting games at the National Stadium or Nakivubo Stadium due to limited capacity of Kyadondo.^[3]

The club has also been a concert venue, witnessing performers such as Beenie Man.^[4]

July 2010 Kampala attacks

Kyadondo Rugby Club was one of the two scenes of the July 2010 Kampala attacks carried out against crowds watching a screening of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final.^[5] The second attack, consisting of two explosions in quick succession, occurred at 11:18 pm at Kyadondo Rugby Club, where state-run newspaper New Vision was hosting a screening of the match.^[6] According to eyewitnesses, there was an explosion near the 90th minute of the match, followed seconds later by a second explosion that knocked out the lights at the field.^[7] An explosion went off directly in front of a large screen that was showing the telecast from South Africa,^[8] killing 49 people. The discovery of a severed head and leg at the rugby field suggests that it was a suicide attack carried out by an individual.^[9] A third unexploded vest was later found.^[10]
