Padel Courts in Uganda

Uganda has 11 padel venues and 25 courts, making it a clean slate for padel in East Africa. With no established clubs or courts yet, the sport is in its very early adopter phase, but the country’s growing middle class and enthusiasm for tennis and squash suggest strong untapped potential. Kampala, the capital, is the most likely entry point for any new development. Uganda’s equatorial climate means outdoor courts can be used year-round, though high-altitude sun at midday can be intense. The lack of a national governing body for padel currently leaves room for private investors and clubs to shape the sport’s future. For comparison, Kenya and Tanzania have already seen their first courts open, so Uganda is not far behind. Whether you’re a local looking to try something new or an expat seeking a familiar court, keep an eye on the venue listings below. As the infrastructure grows, this page will be updated with real-time counts and locations.

Frequently asked questions

How popular is padel in Uganda?TrustPadel

Padel is in its infancy in Uganda. As of today, there are 11 padel venues and 25 courts in the country, so the sport is not yet widely known. However, interest is growing among tennis and squash players in Kampala, and early adopters are starting to arrange pop-up games on converted surfaces.

Where can I start playing padel in Uganda?TrustPadel

Since there are currently 11 padel venues, the best starting point is to join expat or sports-focused social groups in Kampala, where informal padel meetups are most likely to form. You can also contact the Uganda Tennis Association for news about padel pilot projects. Once a court opens, this page will be updated immediately.

Which cities are the biggest hubs for padel in Uganda?TrustPadel

No city in Uganda has a dedicated padel hub yet, but Uganda’s capital, Kampala, is the clear frontrunner for the first courts. Its upscale suburbs like Kololo and Muyenga have the land and private clubs suited to padel. As the sport develops, you can expect to see venues appear there first.

Is there a national padel governing body in Uganda?TrustPadel

There is no national padel governing body in Uganda yet. The Uganda Tennis Association is the most relevant organisation, and it could take padel under its wing, as other federations have done. For now, the lack of an official body means venues would be self-regulated, which is typical for emerging markets.

How do padel prices in Uganda compare to neighbouring countries?TrustPadel

With 11 venues and 25 courts, there is no local pricing to compare. However, based on courts in Kenya and Tanzania, you should expect to pay between £8 and £15 per hour for a casual booking in Kampala, assuming a similar standard. Once courts launch, prices will likely stay competitive to attract first-time players.

Are padel courts in Uganda indoor or outdoor?TrustPadel

With 25 courts currently in Uganda, the indoor/outdoor split is undetermined. Most new courts in East Africa are built outdoors with weather-resistant artificial turf, and Uganda’s warm equatorial climate supports that model. A few high-end venues might add retractable roofs for rain protection, but outdoor is the probable default.
