The long-anticipated crowning ceremony for the 2025 Uganda Netball Super League champions has finally been given the green light, bringing an end to months of uncertainty over what was expected to be a celebratory climax to the season.
The development was confirmed by the Netball Uganda Federation through an official letter inviting KCCA Netball Club to an awarding dinner scheduled for Wednesday, 1st April 2026 at Copper Chimney Restaurant in Lugogo, Kampala.
“Greetings from Netball Uganda.
The above matter refers, your club has been invited to attend the above-mentioned occasion.
It will take place on Wednesday, 1st April 2026 at Lugogo Copper Chimney Restaurant at exactly 4:00pm,” reads part of the letter signed by General Secretary Aminah Mande.
The delay had prolonged the wait for KCCA Netball Club, who clinched last year’s league title in dramatic fashion.
KCCA edged rivals Prisons Netball Club 44–41 on 29 December 2025 in a pulsating finale to secure the championship.
That triumph ended a 42-year title drought for KCCA, marking their first league crown since 1983.
Guided by head coach Fred Mugerwa and assistant Jonathan Ssegujja, the side displayed remarkable resilience and composure under pressure to seal a historic victory.
Despite the magnitude of the achievement, formal recognition of their success had remained pending, leaving players and supporters awaiting an official coronation months after the decisive win.
However, after a three-month delay following the league’s conclusion, Netball Uganda has now set a date to officially hand over the title to the champions, bringing closure to the prolonged wait.
The decision also draws a line under the tensions and bitter exchanges that had emerged due to the delay.
Attention will now shift to the upcoming season, which is expected to get underway in three weeks’ time.
