Uganda’s athletes heading to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow have been motivated by a substantial financial incentive. Sports Minister Peter Ogwang announced a reward of 100 million Ugandan Shillings (approximately $83,000 USD) for each gold medal won. The government’s pledge aims to inspire the Ugandan team to achieve success on the international stage. Ogwang also indicated rewards would be given to athletes winning any medal, though specifics weren’t detailed. This move demonstrates the government’s commitment to supporting and recognizing its athletes' achievements. The incentive is expected to further fuel the team’s determination and performance at the games. The announcement was made prior to the team’s departure for Scotland.
