One of the primary aims and focus areas of our chairperson has always been to develop opportunities for women to excel in rugby, creating an equal playing field and providing them with the chance to reach the highest level of the game.

We're thrilled to share more incredible work coming from Kakira Rugby Football Club. It's great to see the development of the Kakira Lionesses women's team! It fills us with pride to witness the dedication and passion displayed by the players as they attend training sessions, eager to hone their skills and make their mark on the rugby field.

At Scorpions, we are committed to nurturing talent and fostering supportive environment where women in rugby can thrive and achieve their full potential.

Join us in supporting Kakira Lionesses and the major project of our Rugby development officer starting Kakira Rugby Football Club

Scorpions are absolutely thrilled to witness the expansion of rugby into a new community in Uganda!! Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our Development Officer, Atibu Saidi, we're seeing incredible progress and enthusiasm from schools in the area.

Saidi, along with the coaches from Bugembe Rugby Club who we worked with and previously reported winning PW15 Foundation tournament earlier this year have been instrumental in introducing rugby to local schools in Kakira and providing rigorous training sessions to prepare them for the upcoming 7s schools rugby tournament.

The tournament isn't just about competition; its about laying the foundation for a new rugby club in the area, Kakira Rugby Football Club. Check out there page to follow their progress. The club have ambitious plans and have collaborated with the African Scorpions RFC and Uganda Rugby Union on a strategy to deliver long term sustainable rugby growth in the community.

The Scorpions are proud to support this significant development and we cant wait to see the impact it will have on the community. Stay tuned for more updates!!
