West Nile Cup (original) (raw)

West Nile Cup is the annual football tournament contested by the political districts in the West Nile sub-region of Uganda. The tournament was started in 2012 by Lawrence Mulindwa, a year before he ceased to be the president of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations, Uganda's football-governing body. The first edition was hosted by Arua and it was organised to bring West Nile together. The other mission is to identify talent for inter-region tournaments like Airtel Under 17, which can also be a backup wellspring for the Uganda Cranes, the nickname for the national team.
