Dennis Oriokot, captain of the Katine Actors football team. On 6 June, 48 teams from north-east Uganda will compete in a football tournament to mark the halfway point of the Guardian’s Katine project. Football is a passion in Uganda and is a powerful way to mobilise people in post-conflict areas, such as Katine, where there has been civil war and insurgency over the past 20 years. The sport brings communities together for a common purpose, instilling pride. It teaches discipline, respect, teamwork and hope. The tournament will revitalise sport in the region.
