The organizers of the Fortebet Real Stars Monthly award rewarded the slain rugby star Sydney Gogondyo with a posthumous award.
This happened during the crowning ceremony for the month of June 2026 at Nanjing Hotel in Kololo, Kampala.
Gogondyo is a former Stanbic Black Pirates player who was killed by an angry mob in Ntinda, a suburb of the capital city, Kampala under unclear circumstances.
This is the second posthumous award that the Real Stars Sports Agency is giving out after Charles Muhangi, the 1998 African Rally Champion.

The rally crew of Hassan Alwi and Musa Nsubuga won the Masaka Rally, overcoming Duncan “Kikankane” Mubiru and Jonas Kansiime.
Vision Group sports journalist Julius Kafuluma received the award of Alwi and Nsubuga rally crew.
Rugby player Yasin Wasswa of Buffaloes Rugby Football Club came top over Alex Aturinda and Fat Moses.
“This award means a lot to me but it is a team effort and I salute the rest of my teammates” Wasswa remarked.
Boxer Ukasha Matovu edged other nominees Emily Nakalema and Kato Kazibwe following an impressive victory over Katabi Boxing Club’s Isaac Kasasa.
