Day by day, Netball is moving towards the return to where it belongs. Since the elections held on 26th October 2024, several activities have been taking place until the Annual General Meeting on 29th March 2025.
In the first AGM for Netball Uganda, the return of the league and the appointment of standing committees were the key items during the meeting held at Cooper Chimney in Lugogo.
The league, which was last held in 2023, was confirmed to throw off on 5th March 2025 at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo and netball national body president Jocelyn Uchanda confirmed teams’ readiness for the league.
