Uganda Squash and Rackets Association Holds Key AGM to Meet Sports Act Deadline

The Uganda Squash and Rackets Association (USRA) has taken a major step to meet the June 20th deadline for compliance with the new Sports Act 2023, holding its Annual General Meeting today at Kati Kati Restaurant in Kampala.

With time quickly running out, the meeting was more than just a formality. It was part of the association’s ongoing push to secure registration with the National Council of Sports, as required by the new law.

The Act demands that all sports federations be officially registered and meet strict criteria, including having operations in at least half of Uganda’s districts.

USRA President John Bosco Ahimbisibwe said the association was firmly on course.

“We’re on the right track. Today’s meeting was not just routine — it was part of our deliberate steps to align with the requirements of the Sports Act. We are fully committed to this process,” he said.

The 2023 Sports Act, introduced to improve transparency and governance in Uganda’s sports sector, gives sweeping powers to the National Council of Sports to oversee and verify all active federations. Any body not registered by the deadline could lose its legal standing and access to public resources.

General Secretary Shifah Nantambi also confirmed that USRA had already ticked off one of the most critical boxes: national reach.

“The law says we must be active in at least 50 percent of the districts, and I can confirm that we’ve already covered that ground. We’ve done the mobilization, and our structures are in place,” she said.

All across the country, sports bodies are now racing against the clock. Emergency meetings are being held, paperwork is flying, and compliance efforts are in high gear.

“We know time is running out, but we are confident that by June 20th, we’ll be among the fully registered bodies,” Ahimbisibwe added.

The National Council of Sports is expected to publish the final list of compliant associations shortly after the deadline. For now, Uganda’s squash fraternity is hoping their quick moves will keep them in the game.
