The Union continues to work closely with golf clubs across the country to provide national and High Performance players with access to training facilities and competitive opportunities.

ULGU also extends its appreciation to the Uganda Golf Union, clubs, partners, sponsors, coaches, families and members of the golf community whose support makes the development of ladies golf possible.

The All Africa Challenge Trophy is one of the continent’s premier women’s amateur golf competitions.

It brings together leading national teams from across Africa.

Team Uganda heads to Abuja carrying the pride and aspirations of the country, as well as the growing momentum of women’s golf in Uganda.

This year’s team selection also marks an important step in the continued development of the UGU High Performance Programme.

The Union has deliberately strengthened the pathway between player development and national representation, with selection for major international competitions increasingly linked to participation and performance within the High Performance Programme.

The objective is to give talented golfers greater competitive exposure, structured preparation and a clearer pathway towards representing Uganda at regional, continental and international level.

The participation of Team Uganda at the AACT reflects ULGU’s broader commitment to developing talent, strengthening the national player pathway, growing junior and women’s golf, and positioning Uganda to compete more strongly on the continental stage.

The hosts Nigeria will be joined by Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Botswana, Cameroon, Senegal, South Africa, Namibia, Cote d’Ivoire, Eswatini, Gabon, Ghana, Malawi, Mauritius, Togo, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
