Assoc. Prof. Aaron Mushengyenzi, the Vice Chancellor of UCU and the host of the event, played a pivotal role in the success of the games. Despite organizing the event in just two months, Mushengyenzi expressed UCU’s readiness to face challenges and their eagerness to host the next AUUS Games.

“At UCU, we don’t fear challenges; we take the bull by the horns. It was right and fitting to celebrate what unites us, and that is sports,” Mushengyenzi said.

He extended his congratulations to all universities that participated and expressed gratitude to AUUS for injecting funds into UCU and contributing to the refurbishment of their facilities.

Prof. Lawrence Muganga, the Chief Guest and Vice Chancellor of Victoria University, lauded UCU for their exceptional efforts in hosting a world-class event.

“UCU, you have done great,” Muganga said. “I will not stop thanking UCU because it has done a mighty job. In two months, they have managed to put together a world-class event.”

He acknowledged the high-end nature of the games and humorously wished he had delayed his arrival to witness the games firsthand.

Penina Kabenge, the AUUS president, thanked UCU for being gracious hosts and commended the unity displayed throughout the event. She emphasized the historical significance of the games and encouraged athletes to recognize that their journey doesn’t end here, as the skills honed will forever be etched in the history of the AUUS Games.

Uganda Christian University  stepped up to host the 19th edition of the Association of Uganda University Sports (AUUS) Games in an impressive two-month timeframe—a feat usually undertaken in a span of 18 months. 

This event, previously scheduled to happen at Makerere University, landed at UCU’s doorstep on short notice, and the university embraced the challenge with open arms.

The Association of Uganda University Sports(AUUS) formerly National Sports Federation of Uganda (NUSFU) was formed in 1992 by four higher institutions of learning namely Makerere, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Institute of Teacher Education, Kyambogo University, Islamic University in Uganda.
