National Boy’s Football Runners-up Musingu High School has received a massive boost from KCB ahead of the the Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSA) competition scheduled for August 17- 27, 2024 in Mbale, Uganda.
KCB donated training equipment and new kits to the Scorpions as they prepare for the upcoming matches.
The team has been drawn in pool B alongside St. Julian High School (Uganda), Amus College School (Uganda), APE Rugunga Secondary School (Burundi), and Kalangala Secondary School (Tanzania).
Speaking during a training session at the Musingu High School, coach Brendan Mwinamo said:
“The boys are ready for the East Africa games. We have been training in hot conditions to build stamina ahead of the grueling tourney. We have also worked on our weaknesses in the offensive and defensive units so, I believe we will have a good outing in Uganda.”
The team is expected to depart for Uganda tomorrow after a 10-day camp at the school where other teams that qualified for the East African games have also been camping at Musingu High in preparation for the week-long tourney.
KCB, a regional powerhouse in the sports sponsorship arena has injected over KSh. 1.5 million in payment of fees for the student footballers at Musingu High School. Additionally, the Bank has invested in football equipment, and jerseys for the team since partnering a year ago.
“We are grateful to KCB for giving back to the community by supporting the vulnerable students from humble backgrounds to facilitate their education. This partnership underscores the value of sports and education in nurturing talent and progressing academic excellence. We look forward to the team’s success in Uganda,” noted Chief Principal Musingu High School, Bernard Lukuya.
