The Uganda Volleyball Federation (UVF) is the national governing body for volleyball in Uganda. It is registered with the National Council of Sports and organises domestic competitions as well as Uganda's national representative teams.[1]
Leadership
Sadik Nasiwu served as UVF president for eight years before stepping down in January 2017, when Hadija Namanda was elected to succeed him, becoming the federation's first female president.[2][3] Namanda served a four-year term, during which Uganda hosted the women's under-20 African Nations Volleyball Championship.[4] Nasiwu returned to the presidency after defeating Namanda in the federation's January 2021 elections.[4] He was serving as UVF president, alongside general secretary Godwin Nakaana Ssenyondo, as of 2026.[1]
National teams
The UVF organises Uganda's national volleyball teams. In 2025, the federation sent a 12-athlete under-20 women's contingent, nicknamed the Nile Queens, to the Africa U20 Championships in Cameroon.[5]
