Ugandan Junior teams receive hostile reception in Tanzania ahead of U16 Qualifiers

The Ugandan Junior Basketball National Teams, consisting of the Junior Silverbacks and Junior Gazelles, have faced a hostile reception in Tanzania ahead of the U16 Qualifiers.

Hudson Ssegamwenge, the Head of Delegation, confirmed that the team’s treatment has been poor, leaving the players in a concerning mental state.

“Since our arrival, it has been a challenging experience,” he stated.

“We landed yesterday (Wednesday) and were driven to Kibaha, but we spent the night in the lobby because the hosts did not provide accommodation.”

“We have tried to communicate with various governing bodies and are awaiting their responses. We thought we had moved past such issues in the sport, but the situation is disappointing.”

“The team is not in good condition, and we need your prayers to help us navigate through this unfortunate circumstance for the game,” he concluded.

In a similar vein, Micheal Seger, one of the former coaches, expressed his frustration on social media regarding the poor treatment.

His post highlighted that “the Ugandan delegation was advised to sleep in the buses that picked them up from the airport on Wednesday night due to the hosts’ terrible planning.”

The zonal qualifiers are scheduled to take place from Thursday, July 12, to Saturday, July 14, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
