Uganda Rugby Legends Set for Redemption in Sevens Clash Against Kenya

The stage is set for a high-stakes showdown as the Uganda Rugby Legends prepare to host their fierce rivals, the Kenya Nondescripts Legends, in a much-anticipated 7s clash on May 24 at Kyadondo Rugby Football Club in Kampala.

This clash offers more than just pride for the Ugandans who are out to break a disheartening losing streak against their Kenyan counterparts.

The last meeting between the two sides was held in 2024 at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi, where the hosts edged out Uganda 24-15.

That followed Kenya’s 26-15 win in the opening leg, sealing a 50-30 aggregate triumph.

It marked the second consecutive year Kenya had dominated the home-and-away legends series. In 2023, the Kenyan Legends crushed Uganda with a commanding 69-18 aggregate score, underlining their superiority and extending their win streak.

Playing on home turf at Kyadondo, a venue known for its electric atmosphere and passionate support, the Uganda Legends are aiming to reclaim lost glory.

The fixture promises not just a display of vintage rugby skill but also a celebration of East Africa’s rich rugby heritage, with some of the region's most celebrated players rekindling an age-old rivalry.

As preparations intensify, fans and rugby enthusiasts across Uganda are hopeful their legends can deliver a long-awaited win and begin to restore national pride in a series that has been one-sided in recent years.
