Just days after electing a new executive committee led by chairman Desire Derekford Mugumisa, Heathens Rugby Football Club has received a timely boost with Platinum Credit Uganda Ltd renewing its sponsorship, a clear sign of confidence in the club’s future.
The financial services company, which joined in January 2023 as anchor sponsor, has extended the partnership for another three years, running from 2026 to 2028.
The renewal secures crucial funding for one of Uganda’s most successful rugby clubs and highlights Platinum Credit’s continued investment in sport and community development.
For Heathens, popularly known as Platinum Credit Heathens RFC, the announcement comes at a symbolic time.
A new leadership team is settling in and optimism is high, with the sponsor’s continuity providing stability as the club begins its next chapter on and off the pitch.
The Credit company says the extension reflects its commitment to Ugandan sport, youth empowerment and community growth.
Over time, the partnership has grown beyond branding and match-day visibility into a relationship built on shared values and social impact.
The next phase will place greater focus on grassroots rugby, youth programs and community outreach across the country, investing not only in trophies, but in opportunities for young Ugandans through sport.
Heathens will continue to carry the sponsors’ brand, reinforcing the image of a company that values both business success and social progress.
