Uganda Rugby Union has clarified that the winner of the 2023 Nile Special Sevens will receive shs.5 million as a prize money.

The money has increased by shs.500, 000, which Jinja Hippos received for winning the tournament last year.

 The team received a paltry shs. 500,000 for winning the circuit,  the same amount table leaders Stanbic Black Pirates got for winning the Stone City and Kitgum legs, respectively. 

"The ugx 500,000 is a token for each circuit winner, but the overall prize money for the 7s is as follows..," URU clarified on Monday afternoon. 

The women's winners will receive the same amount while the first and second runners-up will receive shs. 3.5 million, respectively.
