BASKETBALL governing body FUBA are way short of the sh60m they need to prepare and send the national men and women teams to next month’s Zone V All Africa Games qualifiers in Kigali, Rwanda, writes Charles Mutebi and Usher Komugisha.
The federation currently has sh10m, which it will use in the non-residential training for the two teams. The 20-man squads, released yesterday, will spend the next three weeks training at Uganda Christian University Mukono before being cut to 12 players each. In the meantime, FUBA are frantically searching for the missing sh50m.
Meanwhile, the 2010 FUBA awards will take place this Friday at the Imperial Royale Hotel.
