Uganda Rugby Union Moves to Align With National Sports Law

The Uganda Rugby Union (URU) will hold its second Special General Meeting (SGM) on Saturday 13th September to complete the constitutional review process that began in June.

The first SGM, convened on June 1, was initially meant to focus on amending the URU constitution following a resolution from the Annual General Meeting. However, the process was overtaken by the enactment of the National Sports Law 2023, which required all federations to re-register under the new legal framework.

URU chief executive Isaac Lutwama said compliance with the law became the immediate priority. “We had to re-register to be compliant with the law,” Lutwama explained, noting that some constitutional clauses remained unresolved during the June meeting.

Key provisions of the new legislation include mandatory coverage of at least 75 percent of districts for federations and 50 percent for associations. Registration also now falls under the National Council of Sports, rather than the Uganda National Records Bureau.

Tomorrow’s SGM is expected to finalize the pending constitutional clauses and bring the URU’s governance structure fully in line with both the new sports law and member expectations.
