Uganda Withdraws from Prince Harry’s Invictus Games

Uganda’s military chief announced the country’s withdrawal from the Prince Harry‑hosted Invictus Games, a decision made only two months after Uganda had declared its intention to participate. The announcement came during a briefing in Kampala, where the chief of defence clarified that the change was final and that no further Ugandan athletes would compete. The withdrawal follows a brief period of preparation and registration, during which Uganda had confirmed its presence. No additional reasons were provided by the military leadership, and the decision was communicated directly to the Invictus Games organisers. The move marks a reversal of Uganda’s earlier commitment and will affect the roster of participating nations for the event.
