At Kenya's Kasarani Aquatic Stadium on Sunday, Uganda's national swimming team won 151 medals and successfully defended its Africa Aquatics Zone 3 title.
With 53 gold, 53 silver, and 45 bronze medals, the Ugandan team amassed 3,933 points, 361 more than the host country, Kenya, which finished with 3,270.50 points for the championship.
In this tenth annual championship edition, Tanzania finished third in the overall rankings with 3,270.50 points, gained through 23 gold, 28 silver, and 40 bronze medals, while Kenya's swimmers took home 43 gold, 33 silver, and 25 bronze. The women's team, led by captain Peyton Suubi, added 1,802 points, while the men's team, led by captain Ampaire Namanya, produced 1,991 points.
Peyton Mary Suubi, who won gold in the 100-meter breaststroke (1:21.64) ahead of Tanzanian Bridget Heep (1:24.10), was one of Uganda's notable performers. She also won gold in the 800-meter freestyle race, finishing in 10:08.46, better than Sudanese runner Rana Hani Mahmoud (10:58.13) and Kenyan Victoria Okumu. In the 400-meter freestyle, she also took the lead, earning gold with a time of 4:28.37, ahead of Okumu and her countrywoman Victoria Kirabo, who took silver and bronze, respectively.
With Nisha Pearl Najjuma leading the 12&under division with eight medals (6 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze) ahead of Tanzanian Heydleen Magashi (3 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze) and another Ugandan, Jinan Nakato (2 gold, 1 bronze), Uganda was in dominant form, taking first place in four of the eight categories.
With ten individual medals, Jonathan Kaweesa won the 13-14, ahead of Kenyan Baraka Makundi and Tanzanian Max Misokia, who took home two and seven medals, respectively.
In the girls' 15–16 age group, Peyton Suubi won ten medals, more than Tanzanian Filbertha Demelo, who took home two gold and two silver, and Rahmah Nakasule, who took home two gold, one silver, and two bronze.
The other Ugandan hero, Tara Kisawuzi, won 11 medals (7 gold and 4 silver) in the girls' 17 and over competition, surpassing Kenyans Audrey Langat and Caffini Duini, who took home four and three medals, respectively.

The Uganda Masters squad also had some great moments, as Yuda Ssekamatte (29.62), Alex Kateeba (32.17), Peter Mugisha (41.56), and Resty Kiwuka (39.62) all took home gold in the 50-meter freestyle events, while Donald Rukare placed second in the various age groups.

UGANDA CUBS’ SPIRITED SHOW ENDS IN NARROW 3–2 PARAGUAY LOSS
The Uganda Cubs (U17) fell 3-2 to Paraguay in a thrilling Dubai friendly. Despite goals from James Bogere & Abubakali Walusimbi, a defensive error cost them. Coach Ssenyondo remains upbeat ahead of their historic 2025 FIFA U17 World Cup.

In Tuesday night's final international friendly match of the Dubai Youth Challenge Cup, the Uganda Cubs, Uganda's U17 national team, put up another valiant display but lost to Paraguay, a South American squad, 3–2.
The game was the final test for the Cubs before their historic 2025 FIFA U17 World Cup debut in Qatar. Once more, Brian Ssenyondo's charges displayed attacking promise, but defensive lapses undid their progress.
James Bogere, the young Ugandans' danger man, gave them the lead in the 24th minute. Bogere had previously scored against Venezuela and was continuing his excellent scoring record.
But Paraguay fought back, as Alan Ledesma equalised in the 40th minute from the penalty spot.
Almada Derlis gave the South Americans the lead with a well-executed goal four minutes later, guaranteeing Paraguay had a 2-1 lead at halftime.
After the half, Uganda returned with renewed vigour, applying pressure to Paraguay before Abubakali Walusimbi levelled the score in the 55th minute.
Despite the comeback, De Cavalho Mouricio took advantage of a defensive blunder to slide in the game-winning goal in the 71st minute, giving Paraguay the lead again.
After an encouraging 1-1 draw with Venezuela in their opening match, Uganda lost to Panama 2-1, marking their second loss in Dubai.
Following the match, head coach Brian Ssenyondo remained upbeat ahead of the World Cup and thanked his troops for the experience they received throughout the camp.
"I am grateful that this camp has taken place, and I would like to thank the Federation for this initiative as it has provided us with a realistic picture of what the World Cup will be like," Ssenyondo stated.
It means a lot because the teams we have faced are from the same area as our group rivals, Canada and Chile. The good news is that we have scored first in each of the three games, demonstrating our offensive ability. We need to get better at game management and defence. I think everything will be set up by the time we play our first game in Qatar.
At the forthcoming FIFA U17 World Cup, Uganda is grouped with Canada, Chile, and France in Group K. They will play their first match against Canada on November 5.
Even though the Cubs have lost all of their friendlies in Dubai, their performances have taught them important lessons and given them more self-assurance before their first appearance on the international scene.

The JT Lady Jaguars fell apart in the fourth quarter, giving the JKL Lady Dolphins a 2-1 lead in the National Basketball League playoffs.
At the Lugogo Indoor Arena on Tuesday, the JKL Lady Dolphins defeated the JT Lady Jaguars 77-59 in the NBL Finals.
Despite getting off to a strong start, the Kira-based team dropped their second straight game due to the Lady Dolphins' zonal defence.
The Lady Jaguars took a six-point (24–18) lead at the end of the first quarter after the Lady Dolphins' high pick and roll failed.
Becky Keren Longom came off the bench to strengthen the defence of the defending champions as the Lady Dolphins struggled to keep up with the Lady Jaguars' rapid transitional style.
The Lady Dolphins led by a slender margin of one point (36-35) at the half.
As the Lady Jaguars entered the final quarter trailing by one point (52–51), they improved their defence after coming out of the locker rooms.
The Lady Dolphins' experience and mindset provided them with the advantage in the last quarter as the Lady Jaguars struggled offensively and made poor decisions.
Sudi Ulanga, the coach of the Lady Jaguars, had to call a timeout because the team was ahead 8-0 going into the fourth quarter. However, the Jaguars trailed by 18 points and were only able to score eight points in spite of the team talk.
The Lady Dolphins' top scorers in double figures were Brenda Ekone (11 points), Evelyn Nakiyinji (12 points), Hope Akello (17 points), and Flavia Oketcho (13 points).
However, the only Lady Jaguars players to score in double figures were Rhoda Nagitta (15 points) and Shakirah Nanvubya (13 points).
