The primary objective of the Lira Corporate Sports Gala is to bring together various corporate entities in a spirit of healthy competition. Participants engage in a wide range of sporting disciplines, including outdoor and indoor games, such as football, volleyball, mweso, chase, and ludo. The event organizers have announced that winners will be determined at the end of the year when the season concludes.

Kossy Eton, the organizer of the Lira City Elites Club, stated the purpose behind the initiative, stating, “…what do you do after work? Are you just going to be there from Monday to Friday, work home, work home, and then weekends you can’t even go and interact with your other friends? That is the reason why we decided to form Lira Corporate Gala so that we shall sail through up to December. When we get to December, we intend to have our corporate dinner….”

Zainabu Lukumu, the Chairperson of the Lira City Elite Club, highlighted the importance of such gatherings, saying, “…. so many people go out there and sit in their offices from Monday to Monday. We thought if we have one day like in a month, we just come and power all that stress that we have been having in the offices, maybe even at home. We come here with our children; they have fun. By the beginning of the new month, we are all fresh….”

The Lira Corporate Gala is proudly sponsored by the Lira City Elites Club, and the upcoming event, which marks the 7th edition, is scheduled for the 1st of October at Lira Town College, running from 7 am to 7 pm.

This event promises to be a day of fun, sportsmanship, and community building, further solidifying its place as a cherished tradition in Lira.
