Greatness isn’t just found in a bottle; it’s forged on the pitch, through grit, discipline, and the unyielding spirit of the Ugandan people. Last Friday, at a colourful gala at Hotel Africana, we were honoured to join the Uganda Rugby Union to celebrate the stars of the 2025/26 season.

For years, through our flagship brand Nile Special, we have stood shoulder to shoulder with the Uganda Rugby Union to nurture a sport that embodies our brand’s values: discipline, resilience, teamwork, and national pride.

Representing Nile Breweries Ltd on the night were our Head of Marketing, Wangechi Gitahi (MCIM), Brand Manager, Eric Malinga, and our District Manager, Wadada Davidson, who presented some of the awards to the deserving stars of Ugandan rugby.

In her speech, Wangechi Gitahi reaffirmed our long-term commitment to the sport. “As we approach 20 years of partnership, we remain committed—proudly and consistently—as the number one fan of rugby in Uganda. And we look forward to continuing this journey for many years to come.”

Our commitment to local sports goes beyond the scoreboard. We believe in the power of sports to unite communities, build character, and provide a platform for Ugandan talent to shine on the global stage. A huge congratulations to all the winners and nominees of the night! Your passion, resilience, and dedication to the beautiful game continue to elevate Ugandan rugby on the African stage and beyond. Thank you to the Uganda Rugby Union for yet another unforgettable evening and for this valued partnership.
