Gulu University hosted the Coral Coatings International Woodball Championship from November 4th to 5th,2023 as a mark for the game in the entire Acholi-Sub Region leaving the University with a student’s club for Woodball and the Region finally having an Association of Woodball that would get full support from the Woodball Federation as continuity strategy for the game.
The Uganda Woodball Federation headed by their President, Paul Mark Kayongo already decided that the next Coral Coatings International Woodball Championship would be in Soroti City as part of compliance with National Council for Sports sub-regulation (2) of the Statutory Instrument No.38 of 2014 which requires registered Sports Association or Federation to have a countrywide presence, responsible for popularizing the sport they are registered for, among others.
