Uganda has been ranked the world's number one nation in the board game of Ludo.
In the latest rankings released by International Ludo Federation, Uganda has claimed the number spot as the world's best Ludo-playing nation.
Uganda accumulated the most points between 2020-2022 with 105 points beating Ludo powerhouses India (90 points) and Brazil (88 points).
Among the parameters considered in the rankings included domestic leagues, national leadership, participation and performance in rated events.
Uganda's Nansana Galaxy Ludo Club won the 2020 Africa Ludo Championship in Dubai.
That was followed by the Uganda national team winning the 2021 Africa Ludo Cup of Nations and the 2022 World Ludo Championship (World Cup) in Nepal.
Uganda Ludo Federation (ULF) President Hussein Kalule says they look forward to galvanizing their status in the game.
"We thank God for enabling us to reach this milestone but all in all, we expected it," Kalule noted.
"We have come from far, and we have won everything that has come our way as Uganda as far as the mind game of Ludo is concerned from Africa to the International stage."
"We promise Ugandans that we shall stay afloat with enough support from the government", he added.
The Africa Ludo Championships will be held in South Africa in September this year.
