History

6th Men Field Hockey Africa Nations 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 been absent for 27 years in official tournaments.
