Kansai Plascon Uganda has announced a one-year sponsorship partnership with Uganda Aquatics, valued at UGX 100 million to strengthen the delivery of the federation’s key national events during the 2026 season.
The announcement comes as Uganda Aquatics rolls out a more structured competition framework aimed at improving standards, widening participation, and creating clearer pathways for swimmers from club and league competitions to national, regional, and international representation.
“Uganda Aquatics is entering an important phase, with stronger competition standards, new events, and wider participation across the sport. We are proud to support this journey,” noted Kansai Plascon Managing Director Santosh Gumte.
Uganda Aquatics President Moses Mwase stated the partnership comes at an important moment for Uganda Aquatics.
“Our focus this season is to raise the quality of competition, improve event delivery, and create stronger pathways for athletes across swimming and other aquatic disciplines,” he said.
The partnership will support the federation’s key 2026 national events, including the 11th National Swimming Championships from July 2–5 at Kampala Parents School, the 1st National Open Water Swimming Championships on August 29 at Kaazi Beach on Lake Victoria, the inaugural National Uganda Open Swimming Championships on November 28–29, and the Masters Championship for adult swimmers aged 25 years and above.
Together, these events widen participation across clubs, schools and independent swimmers, and create more structured pathways for athlete development.
