Uganda Christian University (UCU) Canons triumphed over the United States International University-Africa from Kenya, winning 21-19 in the final of the 7th Afro-Varsity 3x3 Basketball Championship at Hamz Stadium. 

This victory allowed the Canons to defend their title, marking their third consecutive championship win. Additionally, they have qualified for the 2025 FISU University World Cup 3×3 basketball tournament, which will take place in China later this year. 

Despite being without key players Marvin Okurutu and Carl Loum, who are on national duty for the Africa FIBA 3x3 Youth Nations League 2025 in Benin, the Canons were able to secure the win. Joel Kayira, Flore Dushime, Daniel Muganzi, and Harold Ariho stepped up to ensure the team's success and maintain their esteemed position on the continent.
