Uganda sent a delegation to compete at the 1976 Summer Paralympics in Toronto, Canada. The country entered only one athlete, who competed in athletics. He did not win a medal.[1]
Uganda competed in the Paralympics, but not in the 1976 Summer Olympics,[2] as it took part in the African boycott of that year's Summer Games.
It was to be Uganda's last appearance at the Summer Paralympics before 1996.
