MTN Uganda Backs 2026 Entebbe Ladies Open in Boost for Women’s Golf
MTN Uganda has officially announced its sponsorship of the 2026 Entebbe Ladies Open, reinforcing its commitment to the growth of women’s golf and the advancement of sport as a platform for empowerment and economic inclusion.
The announcement was made at the clubhouse of the historic Entebbe Club, which will host the tournament from February 26 to 28, 2026. The championship returns to the national calendar after not being staged in 2025, marking a significant revival for one of the region’s most prestigious women’s amateur golf events.
Sanctioned by the Uganda Golf Union and recognized as a World Amateur Golf Ranking event, the Entebbe Ladies Open remains a premier fixture on East Africa’s amateur golf circuit. As the first Ladies Open of the 2026 season, it sets the competitive tone for the year while symbolically ushering in March, globally recognized as Women’s Month.
This year’s tournament aligns with the International Women’s Day 2026 theme, “Give to Gain,” which emphasizes collaboration, mentorship, and intentional investment in women as catalysts for broader social and economic progress.
Organizers say the championship reflects the belief that when women are supported with visibility, resources, and opportunity, the entire sporting ecosystem benefits.
The competition will be played on Entebbe Club’s scenic yet technically demanding 18-hole course. The main Ladies event will run from February 26 to 28.
The Bronze category will compete from February 27 to 28, while the Subsidiary event—featuring men, seniors, and ladies—will take place on February 28. In a symbolic show of solidarity with the women’s championship, male participants in the subsidiary category will tee off from the ladies’ teeing boxes.
Participation remains open to eligible golfers across all categories. Entry fees have been set at Shs150,000 for the Ladies Main Event, Shs100,000 for the Bronze Event, and Shs50,000 for the Subsidiary Event. Registration is being conducted through Entebbe Club in accordance with Uganda Golf Union regulations.
Speaking at the launch, Justina Icabala, Enterprise Segment Manager at MTN Uganda and Team Lead of the MTN Ladies’ golfers, said the company views sport as a strategic pillar for national development.
“MTN Uganda believes in the power of sport to transform lives, build networks, and create opportunity. Golf in particular provides a unique platform where business, mentorship, and personal growth intersect. Our continued support of the Entebbe Ladies Open reflects our confidence in the women shaping this sport and in the long-term value it creates for communities and for Uganda,” she said.
This year’s edition will feature one of the strongest elite amateur fields in recent memory, supported by a Shs10 million elite reward package made possible through MTN Uganda’s sponsorship. The enhanced reward structure represents a progressive milestone for the amateur women’s game, where incentives of this scale have traditionally been associated with professional circuits.
Organizers expect the package to raise competitive standards and inspire top-tier performance.
Lady Captain of Entebbe Club, Maureen Okura, described the return of the Ladies Open as a defining moment for the club and its members.
“The Entebbe Ladies Open is a significant milestone for Entebbe Club. Reviving this prestigious World Amateur Golf Ranking event reaffirms our position on the regional and global amateur golf stage. It enhances our international visibility and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the club,” she said.
Among the notable players expected to compete are defending 2024 champion Kabasweka Peace from Toro Club, reigning Uganda Ladies Open 2025 champion Mercy Nyachama of Kenya, three-time Uganda Ladies Open champion Martha Babirye from Uganda Club, and 2018 Entebbe Ladies Open winner Neema Olomi of Tanzania.
The field also features regional talents including Loveness Frank (Tanzania), Wendy Angudeyo (Uganda), Victoria Elias (Tanzania), Rukia Nalwoga (Uganda), and Stella Gama (Malawi).
Entebbe Club professional Irene Nakalembe, who previously won the Entebbe Ladies title seven consecutive times, will compete in the subsidiary event in support of the championship.
The revival of the Entebbe Ladies Open underscores Uganda’s growing stature within the regional golf community and signals renewed momentum for women’s competitive sport.
With MTN Uganda’s backing, the 2026 edition is poised not only to deliver high-level competition but also to amplify the conversation around investment, inclusion, and the sustained advancement of women in golf across Uganda and the wider region.
