African Games appearances ( overview) | |
Uganda ( UGA) has competed in every African Games since the first in 1965. The country has taken part in every one of the games since. Athletes from Uganda have won a total of eighty-seven medals, including twenty-two gold and twenty-one silver.
Uganda first entered the African Games (then called the All-African Games) in 1965. [1] The team achieved a single silver medla. The country returned the following tournament, and came away with six gold, three silver and three bronze medals. [2] Uganda has since taken part in and won medals at each of the subsequent games. [3] Involvement has not been smooth, however. In 2003, boxers Jolly Kotongole and Sadat Tebazalwa were almost barred from entering the tournament due to non-payment of affiliation fees. Only the actions of Ugandan boxing official Sande Musoke enabled the competition to happen when he surrendered his allowances to cover the costs. [4]
