The Uganda Fencing Association (UFA) is the national governing body for the sport of fencing in Uganda. It is registered with the National Council of Sports (NCS).[1]
History
Fencing was introduced in Uganda in 2006, and the UFA was formed as the body mandated to promote and organise the sport in the country.[1] The association operates through regional centres, including in the Central, Eastern and Western parts of the country, to grow participation outside the capital.[2]
The UFA is a member of the Uganda Olympic Committee's affiliated federations and is based at the Lugogo Sports Complex in Kampala.[3]
Activities
The association has taken part in international development activities organised by the International Fencing Federation (FIE), including hosting World Fencing Day events in Kampala.[4]
In 2026, the UFA, under president Kenneth Oringo, sponsored fencer Melissa Achieng to undertake a year-long master's-level coaching course in Johannesburg, South Africa, as part of an effort to build local coaching capacity.[5]
