Only World Lacrosse sanctioned game in Africa Lacrosse History.

What does it mean for Uganda and Kenya with more countries in Africa adopting the game of lacrosse as World Lacrosse member countries increase from 11 in 2022 to 15 in 2023.

Twesiime Liberty founder of Africa Lacrosse, a platform that has been marketing, promoting and advertising local African content from 2011 says he is now living the dream.

The credibility of the sport that we have loved so much over the years is finally taking shape. All the literature and news articles in the archives will now start making a lot of sense as many Africans will make it their full time job to reach and surpass them. 

"For me really it has always been about setting the right example for the rest of Africa to reflect upon."

From Africa the new countries joining World Lacrosse are:

1. Zimbabwe 

2. Zambia

3. Mozambique

4. Botswana

Those who are already members are:

1. Kenya

2. Uganda

3. Ghana

4. Rwanda

5. Nigeria

6. South Africa

7. Benin

8. Burkina Faso

9. Ivory Coast

10. Sierra Leone 

11. Togo

Total African countries who are members of WL = 11

Technically qualifying for African game's and world games will be harder in future calling for more investment in this area, this comes with job avenues that we shall quickly leverage as the top lacrosse nation of Africa.

Our former players getting jobs to coach in West Africa is now a top goal.
