Our Programme

Every Discipline. World-Class.

🏃 Olympic gold tradition

Track & Field

Uganda's crown jewel — Stephen Kiprotich (marathon gold, London 2012), Joshua Cheptegei (5000m gold, Tokyo 2020), Peruth Chemutai (steeplechase gold, Tokyo 2020). The largest and most proven national talent pool.

Phase 1 Facility 200m 4-lane polyurethane track + long jump pit and field events area
🏊 First-mover in Uganda

Swimming

Severely underdeveloped — only one Olympic-standard pool currently exists in all of Kampala. Nestloni's Academy seizes a generational first-mover advantage in Ugandan aquatics.

Phase 1 Facility 25m 6-lane modular solar-heated pool, FINA training standard
FUFA talent pathway

Football

A mass participation base of millions. Our FUFA partnership creates a direct, structured pathway for Academy graduates to professional clubs and the Uganda Cranes national team.

Phase 1 Facility 70×105m natural grass FIFA-regulation training pitch with irrigation
🏀 NBA Africa growth

Basketball

NBA Africa presence and the Basketball Africa League are creating rapidly growing international exposure for Ugandan talent through the Uganda Silverbacks.

Phase 1 Facility Multi-purpose indoor hall with 2 sets of retractable basketball goals
🎾 ITF Junior circuits

Tennis

African tennis development is accelerating. ATP/ITF Junior circuits are regionally accessible, but elite coaching infrastructure in Uganda remains severely limited.

Phase 1 Facility 2 acrylic ITF-regulation courts, perimeter-fenced with 400W LED floodlights
🏐 Regional CAVB access

Volleyball

Strong school-level participation across Uganda. Regional CAVB competitions are accessible, but elite training facilities for the sport are almost nonexistent nationally.

Phase 1 Facility Multi-purpose indoor hall with dedicated volleyball courts and equipment
🥊 Commonwealth tradition

Boxing

Uganda has a proud regional boxing tradition — Commonwealth Games medal contenders are regularly produced from within the country, with a strong grassroots base to build on.

Phase 1 Facility Multi-purpose indoor hall with professional boxing ring and full equipment suite
🤸 Blue-ocean opportunity

Gymnastics

Virtually undeveloped across Uganda. An enormous blue-ocean opportunity to build foundational skills and Pan-African competition presence in gymnastics from the ground up.

Phase 1 Facility Indoor hall with sprung wooden floor (50% coverage) and gymnastics apparatus
🥋 Federation support

Judo & Martial Arts

The Uganda Judo Federation is active with African Judo Championship participation. A growing base of school-level practitioners needs elite infrastructure to reach the next level.

Phase 1 Facility Indoor hall with dedicated tatami mat area
