Message from the founder
Sports in Northern Uganda is has hit almost the lowest point with no team competiting at the highest level in the Country. Hence, local top talents from Northern Uganda can’t reach their full potential. During the period of war, The Kids League Gulu gave opportunities to many kids to play football and develop their talent. The current stars in the region are mostly products of the Kids league and since the Kids league project ended, there has been no strong standing projects that unites, promote and support sports talent in Northern Uganda. It is the responsibility of us all to save the future of the game in Northern Uganda by supporting the current and grooming the next generation stars.
