Speaker of the Parliament of Uganda, Rt. Hon. Anita Among this morning, flagged off #TeamUganda for the CAF African Schools Football Championship, that will take place in Accra, Ghana between 23 –26 April.
Speaker Among urged the players to maintain the spirit of pan-Africanism, discipline, and professionalism at the games.
She pledged government's continued support to sports through talent identification and infrastructural development, adding that Parliament will also continue to prioritise sports financing.
"I also thank FUFA for playing an important role in sports development. Let us continue to nurture our players right from secondary schools and grow them up to the national team," she said.
Uganda will be represented by St. Noa Girls School in the girls' category and St. Mary's Kitende in the boys' category. 8 countries will be competing in Ghana for the US$300,000 prize, with the runners-up receiving US$ 200,000 and US$150,000 for 3rd best team.
