History

6th Men Field Hockey Africa Nations Cup

In 13 to 20 May 2000, the Uganda national team played the 6th Men Field Hockey Africa Nations Cup in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, which classified the winner for the World Cup.

Participating countries were South Africa, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Namibia, and Uganda. 16 Ugandan players took part in the competition; the trainer was the Italian international goalkeeper Damian Angió. The Ugandan team scored four times,[2] and despite finishing last in the tournament, it was a victory in itself, because the national team was back after being absent for 27 years in official tournaments.
