The championship was confirmed in May 2026, with members of the Uganda lacrosse community joining together to celebrate Panthers’ historic achievement.The triumph marked a significant milestone for one of Uganda’s most decorated lacrosse clubs, who had endured near misses in previous editions of the competition.
After finishing third in the second season and fourth in the inaugural UNLL campaign, Panthers finally discovered the winning formula to claim their first league championship.
As the oldest and one of the most successful lacrosse clubs in Uganda and across Africa, Panthers entered the 2026 season with high expectations. Their experience, consistency, and determination throughout the campaign played a crucial role in helping them rise above strong competition and secure the top position.
