“From humble beginnings, FEASSSA has grown into the biggest schools’ tournament in the region, Africa and the entire world.”Mugisha Justus, FEASSA President

This year’s championship has drawn 8000 visitors; 6000 of these are participants and over 2000 of them officials.

Namilyango College suffered another heavy defeat, this time against Kenya’s Upper Hill. Despite the result, the Namilyango captain remains positive, saying the youngsters are focused on learning from the experience and enjoying the tournament.

Cricket’s inclusion marks another milestone for FEASSA. The sport was previously featured only as a demonstration sport at the 2025 Games in Kakamega, Kenya, where Uganda was represented by Ntare School and Sacred Heart SS Gulu.

Jinja SS opened their FEASSA Games 2026 campaign in emphatic fashion, crushing Tanzania’s Elerai 31-0 in the boys’ fifteens at the main campus of Sokoine University, Morogoro.
