The Annual Ulafu Football Tournament is a grassroots sports event organised by the Ulafu community since 2017.
Every year, hundreds of young people gather to play, learn, and grow. The tournament promotes discipline, teamwork, and opportunity while tackling social issues such as youth unemployment, drug abuse, and early pregnancies. It has united the people of Siaya County through sport, talent, and purpose
The tournament began as a community football event and has evolved into a platform for nurturing young athletes, reducing crime, promoting gender equality, and creating green livelihoods.
Over the years, this initiative has grown into one of the most respected community-led sports events in Siaya County, with strong support from schools, local government, NGOs, and well-wishers.
