(Patonga Proudsticks, Patonga, Proudsticks, Uganda) Although Quidditch is not played as widely in Africa as in Europe, it is gaining in popularity.

Uganda in particular is emerging as a keen Quidditch-playing nation led by the Proudsticks, who astonished most of the Quidditch world by holding the Montrose Magpies to a draw in 1986.

Six Proudstick players recently represented Uganda in the World Cup, the highest number of fliers from a single team ever united on a national side.
