Isa League Expands Season Three With More Teams New Basketball Tournament
The story
The International Schools Alumni (ISA) League has kicked off its third season with an expanded lineup of schools and teams, alongside new initiatives aimed at strengthening Uganda's growing alumni sports community.
League President Travor Bwiiso said the competition continues to grow as more former students use sport to maintain connections with their alma maters while fostering networking and community engagement.

One of the major highlights of the 2026 season will be the annual All-Star Weekend on August 8, which will bring together alumni leagues from across the country, including the SMACK League, Budo League and Ntare League.
This year's edition will introduce a one-day basketball tournament for the first time, marking the league's latest effort to diversify beyond football.
"It is part of our long-term growth strategy to have more sports included in the league. We hope to have the basketball tournament every season and for more days in each season," Bwiiso said.
The inaugural tournament is expected to feature about eight teams drawn from the ISA community, with organisers hoping it will grow into a multi-day event in future seasons.
Bwiiso said the league has also continued to attract more sponsors while strengthening relationships between alumni and their former schools, a sign of the competition's growing credibility.
He predicted this year's title race would be the closest since the league's inception, citing extensive recruitment by participating teams during the off-season.
