The partnership is strategically timed to cover the full scope of the 2026 schools’ calendar through its flagship brand, Skyview Soda.
It includes the Girls’ Tournament scheduled for May 2026 and the Boys’ Tournament taking place in August 2026.
Head of marketing Hariss International, Samuel Hooper said:
We believe in the power of sport to inspire, unite, and nurture the next generation. We’re excited to continue this journey with Cricket Uganda and to refresh the future champions of the game.
The agreement remains in effect through the conclusion of the boys’ event in August, with an option for both parties to discuss further renewals.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sky View secures exclusive naming rights for the events and will be recognised as the official partner across all Cricket Uganda.

This partnership is vital in ensuring that both the Girls’ Tournament in May and the Boys’ Tournament in August are executed to the highest standards. By providing essential resources and refreshment for our young athletes, Sky View is helping us create an environment where the next generation of Ugandan cricket talent can truly thrive.
Beyond brand visibility, Hariss International will provide a comprehensive sponsorship package to facilitate the smooth running of the tournaments.
Honorary Secretary Denis Musali added;
The renewal of this agreement through August 2026 reflects a shared vision for the growth of grassroots sports in Uganda. Having Sky View’s branding on our kits, trophies, and digital platforms brings a professional energy to the Schools Cricket Week that inspires our players. We value the exclusivity and commitment Hariss International brings to the crease, ensuring that the spirit of the game is well-supported both on and off the field.
