Netball To Eat Big again, Sports Tycoon, Mulindwa Promises to Fully Return to the game
The former Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) President and the Patron of Vipers Sports Club, Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa Promised to bounce back into the game of Netball.
In the previous leadership of Uganda Netball Federation, Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa was among their big financers both on national team the She Cranes and the national League.
Apart from the recent previous two seasons, The St Mary’s SS Kitende Director sponsored the national Netball league for a period of four years but later pulled out his support after seeing no progress.
However, with new leadership, the Netball fraternity should smile again since Dr. Mulindwa promised to return to Netball and giving the support they might need from him.
Mulindwa was among the invited guests to witness the launching of New Netball Federation offices and the four-year strategic plan at the event which took place yesterday at Aga Khan Building Old Kampala.
“I am very happy that Uganda Netball Federation put up offices where we can find them, Netball is a big sport, them getting office and launching strategic plan is a milestone for the game, with this leadership, I have confidence that the game will spread to all parts of the country. ” Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa said.
Mulindwa says that the game has been local even if the national team, the She Cranes have been going to world cup.
“Netball is a big sport, it has been local, and we need to go international, even if we have been going to world cup, there was something missing, publicity and marketing has been seriously bad. So we need rebranding to see that we reach to the international level, the sky will be the limit.” Mulindwa.
About injecting money again into Netball, Dr. Mulindwa, the ardent lover of the game, had this to comment.
“I sponsored the league for four years but I was just helping, there was no foundation, no structures, no progress, I think that’s why I pulled out. But with this new arrangement, they have Secretariat, marketing team, we can join hands to see that the game grows.
I am ready to put money in Netball to see that its a great game. Netball is an easy sport to manage, only urge media to also give us support.” Mulindwa said.
It’s now in hands of the federation to see how to reach at Mulindwa formally and to let the world what next after getting new home.
