At just 17, Elvis Torach is emerging as one of Uganda’s brightest young defenders. Born on 25 February 2008 in Kitgum, he plays as a right-back for Masaka Sunshine FC and represents the Uganda U17 national team.
Torach’s football journey began at Rwotker Soccer Academy, Zebra Academy, and El Cambio Academy.
Passionate about the game and inspired by Ugandan star Allan Okello, he honed his skills while balancing school at Blessed Sacrament SS Kimanyanga with hobbies like listening to music.
Standing 1.85 meters tall, Torach combines physical presence with tactical intelligence. At Masaka Sunshine FC, he not only defends effectively but also supports attacks, showing versatility beyond his years.
Though detailed club stats are limited, his performances have drawn the attention of national scouts.
Torach’s talent shines on the international stage. Wearing number 6 for Uganda U17, he has earned multiple caps and scored in key youth competitions, including U17 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
His selection reflects both skill and maturity against Africa’s top young players.
Known for his height, athleticism, and awareness, Torach excels defensively while contributing offensively.
He wins aerial duels, makes overlapping runs, and supports build-up play, with adaptability suggesting he could develop into a central or wing-back role in the future.
The next phase of Torach’s career will be critical. Cementing a starting spot at Masaka Sunshine or moving to a higher-profile club will aid his growth.
Continued exposure to competitive football could see him become part of Uganda’s next generation of elite defenders.
Fans and scouts will watch closely in upcoming U17 tournaments. How Torach adapts at club level and evolves his position will determine if his early promise translates into a long, successful professional career.
