Speaking on NBS Sport on August 21, Ogwang stated that the owner of Fenerbahce initially planned to set up the academy in Tanzania, but he urged them to choose Uganda instead.
“I met the owner of Fenerbahce FC who intended to establish an academy in Tanzania,” he shared. “I appealed to him to bring it to Uganda.”

They recalled Ogwang’s previous promises, including the completion of the Mandela National Stadium redevelopment by July, which he failed to fulfill. “This minister and his fantasies! Let’s wait and see,” commented Gerald Lule.
