It is under a month to the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town South Africa, the first on African soil. It has brought lot of excitement not only in the rainbow nation but also in the Pearl of Africa.
She Cranes coach Fred Mugerwa will be guiding the Uganda to their fourth, their third straight and his first, he describe it as a milestone.
"The tournament presents a tremendous opportunity for Africans to witness it live, and it will be a great boost for the sport," Mugerwa told Pulse Sports.
"South Africa is not too far away, and I believe that a number of Ugandans will make the journey to support us during our games, which was not always possible in previous tournaments," he added.
The She Cranes are in Group D alongside world champions New Zealand, Singapore together with Trinidad and Tobago.
Mugerwa and his side will be hoping to better the team’s performance four years in England, they finished seventh, one place better that what they managed in 2015 in Australia.
