UPDF’s Private Chemutai Leonard wins silver in the 3000m steeplechase at the Africa Military Games in Abuja! Simon Koich from Kenya won the Gold.
The African Military Games are a multi-sport event organized by the Association of African Sports Confederations (AASC), featuring athletes from various African countries. The event is designed to promote sports and physical fitness among the armed forces of African nations, fostering camaraderie, unity, and solidarity among them.
The games feature a range of sports such as athletics, football, basketball, handball, volleyball, and more, depending on the host country’s facilities and interests. Military-specific events and disciplines, like shooting and military skills, are also featured.
These games are typically held every few years, though not on a regular schedule like the Olympic Games or African Games.
