NAIROBI, Kenya, March 9, 2026 — The Uganda Rugby Union (URU) have revealed four clubs set to represent the country at the revamped Enterprise Cup, with a high-stakes cross-country quarter-final showdown on March 21, this year.
Leading the charge are the Stanbic Black Pirates, who clinched the top spot, followed by perennial heavyweights Platinum Credit Heathens, KCB KOBs, and Toyota Buffaloes.
The four teams qualified based on their dominant performances in the 2025 Uganda Cup.
The tournament, aimed at strengthening club-level competition and fostering East African brotherhood, will reunite rugby enthusiasts from Kenya and Uganda in a celebration of shared passion and fierce regional rivalry.
“This landmark competition breathes new life into a storied legacy. It will sharpen the skills of our athletes, breeding a new generation of fiercely competitive players ready to dominate on regional and international stages,” URU President Godwin Kayangwe Arinaitwe said.
Beyond the technical benefits for players, the Enterprise Cup is designed to strengthen the unbreakable bonds between the two nations, promoting cultural exchange and the spirit of East African unity.
“We can’t wait for the electric atmosphere, the roaring crowds, and the unforgettable moments that will define this revival. Let’s rally behind our teams,” Arinaitwe added.
The revamped competition features a home-and-away dynamic that will see two teams from Uganda traveling to Kenya and vice versa for the opening weekend.
The winners of these high-octane quarter-final clashes will proceed to the semi-finals on April 11.
The tournament will reach its peak with a grand finale scheduled for May 30.
