Uganda She Cranes
Uganda's national netball team, the She Cranes: history, competitions, and their standing as one of Africa's leading netball nations.
The She Cranes are the Uganda national netball team, taking their name from the grey crowned crane featured on Uganda's national flag and coat of arms.
Competitions
Uganda compete in the Netball World Cup and Commonwealth Games netball tournaments, and are regular contenders at continental level, including the Africa Netball Cup, where they've been consistently among the leading teams alongside Malawi and South Africa.
Standing in world netball
The She Cranes are widely regarded as one of Africa's strongest netball nations, and have increasingly featured in the closing stages of major international tournaments — part of a broader trend of African nations narrowing the gap on netball's traditionally dominant countries. See history of netball for how the sport spread more widely through countries with strong British colonial and educational links.
