Sports Uganda Helping Make the Dream of Sports
a Reality
Posted June 1st, 2022 by Sambecketts
A simple thing like a football or rugby ball that people take for granted in the UK is a rarity in
Uganda for children and young people wanting to play sports. Therefore, these donations will impact
whole communities and provide young people with the opportunity to display their skills and come
together through sport.
London, England, UK, June 1, 2022 - /PressReleasePoint/ - Sports Uganda is delighted to have
received multiple sacks of sports kit donations from Southampton FC Academy Network and Salisbury
Rugby Football Club. The kit is destined for Uganda in support of the Satellite Primary Schools
Programme benefiting hard to reach communities in 5 districts (Kumi, Iganga, Mukono, Gulu and
Adjumani).
Andrew Byekwaso, CEO of Sports Uganda Ltd UK, personally delivered the sports gear to Regional
Express at Southampton Docks where he was met by Neil Curran (MD). Regional Express has
generously donated the freight forwarding costs for the sports kits to be delivered to Uganda.
Andrew Byekwaso says “Sports Uganda is hugely thankful to Neil at Regional Express, Andy

Eisentrager, the Coach at Bath and North Somerset RTC and Southampton FC, Richard Larcombe,
President Salisbury RFC, Jason Yarwood, Youth Development Officer, Salisbury RFC and Georgina
Hillman from Sambecketts Ltd who have been instrumental in bringing this together and have donated
all their time and resources free of charge. A simple thing like a football or rugby ball that we take for
granted here in the UK is a rarity in Uganda for children and young people wanting to play sports.
Therefore, these donations will impact whole communities and provide young people with the
opportunity to display their skills and come together through sport.”
Jason Yarwood, Youth Development Officer, Salisbury RFC says “Developing children’s rugby and
making it as accessible as possible is a passion of mine. Salisbury RFC Board fully support the drive to
make Rugby accessible for all. It is a great pleasure to donate equipment to the Sports Uganda cause. It
is good that equipment we have used will get a second lease of life. We wish the Ugandan drive to
make sport central to the way of life all the best for the future.”
Andy Eisentrager, the Coach at Bath and North Somerset RTC and Southampton FC, says “I thank God
that He is using me in a world that is desperately in need of love – we all need to look at ways to
accomplish this! Sometimes it’s just a smile for someone who needs one”
According to Sports Uganda, ‘the state of sports infrastructure in all parts of Uganda is either dead or in
a dire state. Sports personalities that have risen through the ranks to win accolades at the national,
regional, and international level have either been self-made or through an “accidental” revelation to the
sporting administration of the country and the specific districts they hail from.’

cause. We look forward to hearing more about the progress of Sports Uganda in helping bring
children’s dreams of participating in competitive sports to a reality.”
