This partnership ensures Uganda’s football story is free, credible, and preserved for generations.

#WikimediaUganda #UgandaPremierLeague

Ugandan football deserves a place in history, not just on the pitch. ⚽

Wikimedia Community User Group Uganda has signed an MoU with the Uganda Premier League to document matches, players, managers, and fan culture on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

Wikipedia’s anniversary wasn’t just about looking back, it was a reminder of what comes next.

In Uganda, the question isn’t whether information is available.
It’s whether it’s accurate, inclusive, and responsibly shared.

And we’re still editing.

#WikimediaUganda #Wikipedia #OpenKnowledge

As Wikipedia marked its 25th anniversary on January 15, 2026, the Ugandan Wikimedia community is using this moment to promote fact-checking, digital literacy, and responsible knowledge sharing across the country.

Free knowledge for everyone, everywhere.

Happy Birthday, Joana 🎉
