Facilities continue to be a significant challenge in Uganda, and any other facility that can take pressure off the few existing ones is a step in the right direction.
Kampala Capital City Authority has committed UGX 100m to upgrade the volleyball facility that accommodates KCCA teams in Naguru.
City Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago revealed this on Thursday during his interaction with the KCCA Ladies Volleyball team that won the National Volleyball League.
The champions had a trophy parade from MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, before receiving a guard of honour from the entire staff at City Hall.
After that, the team presented the two trophies won in the 2022/23 season, the league and the Nkumba Open, to the Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka and the Lord Mayor.
Lukwago, who is the Patron of all KCCA Sports entities, could not hide his excitement as he welcomed yet another piece of silverware at City Hall.
