The Dong Acoli Cup is a regional grassroots football tournament held in Northern Uganda, particularly among communities in the Acholi sub-region. It was established to promote unity, peace, and youth development through football, especially in areas that were heavily affected by past conflict.

The competition mainly features teams composed of young players and local community sides, providing them with a platform to showcase their talent and engage in organized sport. Matches are usually played during festive periods, attracting large crowds and strong community support.

Beyond football, the Dong Acoli Cup plays an important social role by bringing people together, encouraging reconciliation, and strengthening cultural identity among the Acholi people. It also helps in identifying talented players who can progress to higher levels of the game within Uganda’s football structure.
