WADA Publishes New Prohibited List
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published the new PROHIBITED LIST coming into effect on 1 January 2020. All athletes are encouraged to go through the lists below.
FLAGGING OFF THE JUNIOR TEAM
We have sent a team to the BWF World Junior Championships to be held in Kazan, Russia, from 30-September to 13-October-2019. The players are Kasirye Brian, Arshart Mohammed, Wasswa Samuel, Kobugabe Husina, Naluwooza Tracy and Fadila Shamika. The coach is Ivan Karimunda.
They were flagged off by the officials of National Council of Sports at the NCS Headquarters Lugogo.
Uganda is the only country that will represent the African continent in this year’s championship after South Africa and Ghana withdrew from the event.
Para-badminton World Championships 2019
For the first time the Badminton World Federation organised the World Championships for players with and without impairments at the same time at the same venue: the TOTAL BWF WORLD (PARA-)BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIPS in Basel/Switzerland.
Though even more Ugandan players had qualified, only five could travel to Basel due to financial constraints.
