Arguably Uganda’s most celebrated beer and a long-standing partner of Ugandan Rugby, Nile Special remains a key pillar in fostering the game’s growth, both on and off the pitch.
This was reaffirmed today at a press conference where the brand asserted its continued support for the oval ball game throughout 2025, with an unwavering commitment to elevating the sport to new heights.
With the Uganda Rugby Premiership (both men’s and women’s) already underway in its second matchday, the beer brand takes great pride in remaining the title sponsor of this premier competition.
Adu Rando, the Managing Director of Nile Breweries, expressed his excitement for the new challenges and the shared journey ahead this afternoon at Kyadondo Rugby Club.
“Together, let’s raise our game in 2025, a year to yet again celebrate excellence, both on the pitch and in the stands of Ugandan rugby,” he stated.
Through these partnerships, the sponsor is steadfast in its mission to elevate the sport by inspiring excellence, fostering a strong sense of community, and building long-lasting relationships with players, fans, and stakeholders alike.
These partnerships extend to other key activities such as; the National Men’s and Women’s 7s, Regional 7s, Uganda Cup, the University League, and the Annual Rugby Dinner, all of which contribute to the development and celebration of rugby across the nation.
Eric Malinga, the Brand Manager for Nile Special, shared a powerful message for both players and fans.
“To the players, carry on with the guts and grit to defy limits, overcome challenges, and inspire victories. And to the fans, you are the heartbeat of the game.”
