Big day for Uganda Rugby! ๐บ๐ฌ๐
Uganda Rugby has been approved by the National Council of Sports (NCS) for registration as a National Sports Federation following nationwide verification.
Uganda Rugby confirmed activity in 116 districts, surpassing the required threshold of 110 districts under the National Sports Act, Cap. 151.
A proud milestone for our players, coaches, volunteers, partners, and the entire rugby community. Together, we continue to grow the game. ๐

I congratulate the @LadyCranesRugby for winning their maiden @RugbyAfrique Sevens title on November 8, 2026, defeating Tunisia 33โ0 in the final at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi, Kenya, where our own Peace Lekuru was named Player of the Tournament.
Thank you ladies and the coaches for making our country proud.
Congratulations once again
๐บ๐ฌ The recent heat map around this region ๐ค
Is there something that the rest of us are yet to see? ๐
As in, the efforts to grow rugby in the region are commendable, and credit where itโs due. But no offence to our Tooro brothers & sisters, the frequency of visits from top rugby officials in that corner, compared to the rest of the regions looks kagenderere ๐
To be fair, Rwenzori rugby is genuinely growing. Mpanga, Nyakasura etc have some encouraging stories to tell.
But can we also see similar updates, attention & perhaps some of that official enthusiasm directed towards other regions, particularly the hardest-hit ones? Laba West Nile, Acholi, Lango ++ have gone without schools rugby activities in 2025/26
Hangiriza Agutamba...
A Royal visit for sustainable regional growth.
President Godwin Kayangwe, accompanied by Hon. Secretary Peter Odong, paid a courtesy visit to His Majesty Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I and Her Majesty Queen Rebecca Amoding Rukidi to explore opportunities for expanding and developing rugby across the Tooro Kingdom.
During the engagement, the Omukama expressed his full support for the initiative, reaffirming the Kingdomโs commitment to promoting the growth of rugby and creating greater opportunities for young people within the community.
