Below we have the release from the Uganda Lacrosse Foundation announcing their 2018 national men’s team, and it’s looking good! Plenty of returners are on this list, and some new faces are also along for what promises to be an exciting journey. 2018 will mark the Uganda men’s national team’s second FIL world championships. They were pretty darn exciting in 2014 out in Denver, so expect more of the same in 2018!

Uganda Lacrosse Roster
KAMPALA, Uganda – The coaching staff of the Uganda national team has named the roster for the 2018 FIL World Lacrosse Championships, which will be held in Netanya, Israel, from July 12-21.
Uganda head coach Pete Ginnegar along with his staff – Mike Allan, John Christmas, Francis Donald and Ivan Cohen – have carefully selected this pool of players from which the final 23 will be chosen to represent Uganda in Israel at the Championships.
“The people of this country never cease to amaze me, and the members of the national team are certainly no exception,” Ginnegar said. “We asked them to make it difficult during our December mini-camp and they really did.”
As the players continue to prepare throughout the spring, the staff will make periodic trips to help sharpen their skills. With the game of lacrosse quickly becoming popular in other African countries, the Ugandan team paves the way for all nations.
