The Seventh Edition of the Elite Secondary School Games has been officially rescheduled, with organizers announcing new dates of February 26th to March 1st, 2026. The highly anticipated event, initially set to tip off on February 13th, will now take place later in the month to ensure full participation from schools across the region.
Confirming the change, Chief Executive Officer Mugisha Christopher Banage explained that the adjustment was driven by the revised school reopening calendar. He noted that aligning the games with the new academic schedule was necessary to guarantee adequate preparation time for both students and institutions.
Despite the brief delay, excitement around the tournament remains high as elite secondary schools prepare to converge for one of the most competitive inter-school sporting events on the calendar. The rescheduling is expected to enhance participation levels and raise the overall quality of competition.
Organizers have reassured stakeholders that preparations are progressing smoothly, with renewed focus on delivering a well-organized and memorable sporting spectacle. Mugisha emphasized that the extra time will be used to refine logistics and improve the overall experience for athletes, officials, and fans.
The Elite Secondary School Games continue to stand as a key platform for nurturing young talent, promoting sportsmanship, and celebrating excellence in school sports. When the action finally begins in late February, the seventh edition promises thrilling contests, emerging stars, and unforgettable moments on and off the field.
