Our homeboys from Kampala and the northern Bugulobi-district loving the Swedish support...UGANDA OYEEE!
The day before the crucial African Cup of Nations qualificationmatch between Africas maybe best team, Nigeria and the underdogs Uganda, we took our backpacks and left for the Swedish Embassy in Kampala with one mission, get the biggest Swedish flag in the country!!!!
I wonder what the score was?
Well, if I put it like this, the tired dude that welcomed us in the Swedish Embassy was originally from my town, Eskilstuna, he was so tired and not excited that we were going attach the 6 square meter huge flag on the frontrow at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Namboole/district, just outside Kampala. Typical Eskilstuna dudes, not willing to cooperate ey!!
Us with the Ugandan nationaljerseys outside the Nelson Mandela Stadium.... UGANDA OYYYE!
We came 3 hours before the game started and the arena was already packed to its fullest potential! 50.000 crazy Ugandan fans!
After the huge Nigerian stars, such as Martins, Kanu and Mikkel scared the small Ugandans with scoring the opener, the Ugandans got back with a penaltykick, and then 15 minutes from time, the Ugandans got their lead with another welldeserved penalty, the match at Nelson Mandela stadium ended with the Ugandans winnning 2-1 !!
The real Swedish Embassadors at Nelson Mandela Stadium, Namboole-district, Kampala, Uganda.
Around 10 000 people just ran into the pitch and went freaking CRAZY, like they all had been elektrefied by Tazzerguns!!! It was almost as crazy as the time when I saw Galatasaray kicking out Manchester United from the Champions Leaugae...
Ugandan fans breaking off the Sky Sports cameramans platform....
We had to walk for 6 km to get to the nearset Boda Boda driver to take us ho9me to Bugulobi...we danced on the streets with the BIG swedish flagg, people went crazy and I still dont have a voice after screaming my ass off for some 8 hours or so...before and after the game.
We are going to return the Swedish flagg on Wednesday, when we are invited to the Swedish Embassadors residence for the Swedish nationalday...the contacts that we've generated here are amazing!!
UGANDA OYYYEE!!! (GO UGANDA!!)

Hi Emre, remember me? :)
Don't you just love the internet, accidentally bumping into old friends.
Hope you're doing well, and of course hope to hear from you some time.
All the best, Yonca
