| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Uganda occupies the central field, featuring a shield supported by a Uganda kob (antelope) to the left and a grey crowned crane to the right, with a drum and spears behind the shield and a sunburst motif at its centre. Below the shield, a scroll bears the national motto in the exergue. The date '20 02' is divided across the left and right fields flanking the arms. The legend 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The coin is struck in proof quality with deeply mirrored fields contrasting frosted relief devices. |

| Additional information |
Uganda's football-themed commemoratives from this period were part of a broader wave of licensed sports issues produced for the collector market rather than circulation, typically contracted through European minting intermediaries. The Bank of Uganda had limited direct involvement in the design and distribution process for most of these pieces.
KM#82 is one of several Ugandan issues from 2002 sharing the same planchet specification, a pattern consistent with bulk contracts placed around the time of the FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
