Uganda at the Invictus Games

Uganda possesses one of the largest armed forces in East Africa, with approximately 45,000 active personnel serving across its Land Force, Air Force and Special Forces Command. Uganda has a strong record of contributing to regional and international peacekeeping operations and became the first nation from East Africa, and the second from Africa, to join the Invictus Community of Nations.

We are honoured to join a network that recognizes the transformative power of sport in rehabilitation, recovery, resilience, and reintegration.
