Queens of the Table: Uganda’s Women Smash Their Way to African Table Tennis Glory

It wasn’t just a final, it was a masterclass.

With nerves of steel and paddles of purpose, Uganda’s Women’s Table Tennis Team swept aside Namibia in a jaw-dropping 13–1 victory to be crowned African Champions in emphatic style. The arena crackled with tension, but by the end, only one team stood tall, and unbeaten.

This was more than a win. It was a statement.

At the heart of Uganda’s triumph was the unstoppable Rukia Naiga, whose poise under pressure and surgical precision on the table left spectators in awe. She wasn’t just competing, she was commanding. Naiga clinched the prestigious Singles title and was rightly named MVP of the tournament, underscoring her status as the continent’s finest.

But Uganda’s dominance didn’t stop there.

Rising star Amina Faith Nganda added to the glory with a gritty run to third place, showcasing the squad’s depth and determination. Her spirited play embodied the fighting spirit that defined Uganda’s campaign from start to finish.

As the Ugandan flag soared above the podium, it symbolized more than gold, it marked a turning point. A new era. A shift in power.

Uganda are not just champions, they are the Queens of the Table, and African table tennis may never be the same again.
