The roster of Soft Ground Wrestling will compete for the promotion’s newly introduced championship title in the latest big step for the Ugandan company.
On Twitter, SGW Uganda shared the new title belt which comes courtesy of championship title makers Royal Belts and Michael L Ledesma. A tournament will crown the first champion though there is no word on who will participate.
Appreciative thanx @royalbelts to Mr. Micheal L Ledesma for the donation made of a brand new sgw championship belt. May God bless you. We happily received it well packaged. Sgw now has a brand new tittle belt that is undergoing a tournament. pic.twitter.com/Q8Hr8LdJZg

What is Soft Ground Wrestling?
Soft Ground Wrestling Uganda has become a hit online in recent months after notable names began sharing the promotion on social media. Both AEW’s Will Ospreay and TNA Wrestling’s Jordynne Grace donated to a GoFundMe fundraiser aimed at providing a standard wrestling ring as well as other operating needs.
A recent fundraiser for the company raised over $28,000 to further help with operational costs. Names involved in the charity stream included AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland, TNA X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali, and Tough Enough-winner turned popular wrestling YouTuber Maven Huffman.
Former WWE Superstar Mansoor added that his mother would be personally purchasing a van for SGW Uganda to help the company’s efforts. The incredibly generous offer was made in memory of her father who gifted them a van when Mansoor’s sister was born.
