Lack of facilities
A number of factors have to be in place for an athlete to train adequately for international events. These factors include training gear which in Uganda's case leaves a lot to be desired.
Uganda has one steeplechase and pole vault ground at Mandela national stadium in Namboole.
But these facilities are rarely put to their intended use. Facilities for other sports are also inadequate.
