As the sun sets over the raucous cheers of rugby fans in Kampala, a young boy sprints barefoot with a makeshift rugby ball, mimicking his heroes from the Nile Special Rugby Championship. His dream of donning the Ugandan jersey mirrors the excitement brewing across the nation as the 2025 rugby calendar promises a year-long extravaganza for the sport’s enthusiasts. Uganda’s rugby fraternity is poised for a season of unrivaled energy, grit, and glory.
Kicking off in January, the Nile Special Rugby Championship will set the tone, bringing together the country’s top teams to compete for supremacy. Known for its fierce tackles and nail-biting finishes, the championship will pave the way for the Uganda 7s Series, slated to run from May through August. The series will showcase fast-paced, electrifying rugby as teams battle across the country’s finest pitches, vying for the title of Uganda’s best sevens squad.
Adding to the year’s intensity, the Africa Rugby Cup in July will see Uganda go head-to-head with other African giants. This continental showdown is not just about regional pride; it’s a platform for Uganda to cement its growing dominance in African rugby. The action-packed season will then culminate with the prestigious Uganda Cup from September to October, where clubs and players alike will leave it all on the field for national glory.
With rugby action spanning all twelve months, 2025 is a year destined to elevate the sport in Uganda. Whether it’s grassroots talent inspiring the next generation or high-stakes matches uniting fans in a shared passion, the calendar promises an unforgettable journey for players and supporters alike. Uganda is ready to scrum, tackle, and triumph!
