Uganda will host the 15th Edition of the East African Community (EAC) Inter-Parliamentary Games from December 5 to 15, 2025, an annual event aimed at strengthening regional integration, cooperation and unity among partner states.
The Games were earlier planned to be held in Burundi but Bujumbura withdrew in the last minute.
The Chairperson of Uganda Parliament Sports Club Asuman Basalirwa said the tournament was more than a competitive sporting gathering — it is a vital platform for fostering mutual understanding and collaboration among legislators and parliamentary staff across the region.
“People complain that the EAC is only known to those at the top and that the common man does not know its relevance. We will use the games to sensitise the nation on the beauty of integration,” Basalirwa said.
He noted that the tournament, now a permanent feature on the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) calendar, has become a key driver of the integration agenda by promoting people-to-people connections and nurturing the spirit of East African unity.
