Uganda's team for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will consist of 55 athletes from eight sports federations, according to the Uganda Olympic Committee. The delegation aims to build on the country's historic medal tally of 58 medals since its debut in 1954.
The contingent includes athletes in athletics, boxing, cycling, judo, netball, rugby sevens, swimming, and weightlifting. Notable names include Olympic gold medalist Joshua Cheptegei (10,000m) and world champion Halimah Nakaayi (800m), though final selections are subject to qualification standards.
Uganda's best performance came in 2018 in Gold Coast, Australia, where it won 10 medals (3 gold, 1 silver, 6 bronze). The 2022 Birmingham Games saw Uganda win 11 medals (4 gold, 4 silver, 3 bronze), its highest ever gold count.
The Glasgow 2026 Games are scheduled for July 23 to August 2, 2026. Uganda's Chef de Mission, Moses Muhangi, said the team is 'well prepared' and urged athletes to 'make us proud.'
