These are set to contend for the Championship title in their respective categories. They will also be competing for various prizes, medals, and sports equipment.

Speaking at the kickoff ceremony, TotalEnergies EP Uganda’s representative Caroline Namyalo – Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, reiterated the company’s commitment to providing the young players with a platform to grow, thrive and inspire others whilst also ensuring that they benefit from essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, and talent development. “Our support towards the development of the sport in the district and among young people is enshrined in the TotalEnergies pillars of promoting diversity, youth Inclusion and Education, creating shared value as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 of Good Health, and wellbeing for the host communities we operate in.”
