Victoria University She Crocs have earned promotion to the 2026 National Basketball League (NBL) Premier Division after a decisive 59–41 win over Makerere University Sparks in Game 4 of their semi-final series at Hams Stadium on Sunday.
The result gave the She Crocs a 3–1 series victory in the Best-of-Five playoffs, confirming their automatic rise to the top tier of Ugandan women’s basketball.
It was a dominant performance from the university side, who combined tight defensive play with clinical execution on offense to outclass a Sparks team that struggled to find rhythm throughout the contest. The win capped a season marked by steady improvement and resilience, as the She Crocs showcased their growth from a competitive side to genuine contenders.
With promotion already secured, Victoria University She Crocs now turn their attention to the League Finals, where they will fight for the Championship crown before shifting focus to next season’s debut campaign among Uganda’s elite.
Their upcoming participation in the 2026 NBL will be the club’s first in the premier division, marking a milestone for both the team and the university’s basketball program.
