KAMPALA, Uganda — Nile Special has announced the first winners of its FIFA World Cup 2026 promotional campaign, with two Ugandan fans earning an all-expenses-paid trip to the United States following a live draw held at Kyadondo Rugby Club.
Betty Namunvu and Saul Mulindwa were selected through a digital random draw system, securing the grand prize after being picked from a pool of participants. The selection process was overseen by regulatory officials to ensure fairness before the winners were officially confirmed.
According to Nile Special Brand Manager Eric Malinga, the live draw marked a key milestone in the campaign, emphasizing openness and trust in the process.
