The Kitgum Pool Association is set to launch a women’s pool championship at King Comfort on May 31, 2026, with several clubs expected to participate in the competition.

According to the Director of Maicamo Pool Association, Mr. Oling Bosco, the launch of the women’s pool championship marks a major milestone in promoting women’s participation in pool games in Kitgum District.

He called upon clubs interested in participating to register before the official launch on May 31, adding that several clubs have already signed up for the championship.

The Chairperson of Women’s Pool in Kitgum, Ms. Auma Scovia Trace, said involving women in pool championships will create opportunities for them to actively participate in competitions, promote their talents, and explore their potential in the sport.

She added that clubs wishing to join the championship will pay a registration fee of Shs100,000 and appealed for more clubs to register.

The clubs already registered for the 2026 Women’s Pool Championship include Zone pub Pool Club, Sniper pool club and kingcomfort  with support from former Chua East Member of Parliament Hon. Lamwaka, Manager Odwar, and Kitgum Municipality Member of Parliament Hon. Onekalit Denis Amere.
