In that same year Uganda first used the ground when the national team played the Sunder Cricket Club.[1] The ground held its inaugural first-class match when an East African Invitation XI played the touring Marylebone Cricket Club in 1963.

A further first-class match followed in 1967 when a combined East Africa team played the touring Indians. The next first-class matches to be held on the ground didn't come until 2005, when Uganda played two matches there in the Intercontinental Cup against Kenya and Namibia.[2] The Lugogo Stadium is the only cricket venue in Uganda to have held first-class cricket.

Surrounding the cricket ground there are tennis courts and a football ground which is the home ground of Kampala City Council FC.
