Uganda Bags Medals at Para Badminton Tournament, But Athletes Demand Better Support

Uganda wrapped up the 2025 Uganda Para Badminton International Tournament with silver and bronze medals, showing grit and pride at the Lugogo Arena despite falling short of gold.

The weeklong tournament, held from July 1 to 6, brought together elite para badminton players from ten countries, including Peru, South Africa, India, Cameroon, Sweden, UAE, Estonia, and hosts Uganda. It was not just a battle for medals but also crucial international ranking points.

While the home team gave a commendable fight, several athletes expressed disappointment at not topping the podium, pointing fingers at the lack of professional training facilities and coaching back home.

“We struggled to perform at our best,” said Simon Mugabe, CEO of Badminton Uganda. “Our competitors train in world-class environments. We’re asking the government to invest in better facilities and professional coaches so our athletes can also shine.”

His message was backed by Sarah Chelangat, the Assistant General Secretary for Technical at the National Council of Sports, who acknowledged the concerns and promised action.

She pointed to the recently enacted Sports Law, saying it’s meant to support inclusive sports development and improve conditions for athletes with disabilities.

Still, Uganda’s para badminton team didn’t leave empty-handed. Their medals, earned through hard work and resilience, were celebrated as proof of the team’s potential.
