The rankings were based on a number of perimeters that included Domestic Leagues, National Leadership, participation in rated tournaments, performance in rated tournaments and International Leadership.
“We thank GOD for enabling us to reach this milestone but all in all we expected it. we have come from far and we have won everything that has come our way as Uganda as far as the mind game of Ludo is concerned from Africa to the International stage.” the ULF president Hussein Kalule said
“We promise Ugandans that we shall stay a float with enough support from Government.” he added
