Mr. John Musinguzi met the secretariat through an introduction by the club C.E.O Henry Mayeku, the Board of Directors through an introduction by club chairman Mr. James Kizza and the technical team through an introduction by head coach Mr. Sam Simbwa.
The function started with the formalities including the national anthem and East African anthem before Hormisdallen School Director Mr. Kizito Mukalazi (our host) welcomed everyone home and promised commitment to the cause.
In his speech, the club patron had this to promise:
“Sports have a vivid transformative and unifying power with potential for influencing tax paying culture and the club has demonstrated this so far. We thank you and as an organization are committed to moving with you.”
He would go ahead to say:
“Beyond the SOPS, we welcome ideas of having a sustainable footballing program and how to help harmonize work at the club amid the pandemic. There is no doubt that we need a home of our own and we shall work hard to deliver this.”
The biggest reveal of the evening however was the launch of the season tickets for the 2020/2021 season. The club patron went ahead to launch the Platinum and Silver Seasonal Ticket.
This will be relevant starting with our Game at home against Express FC at the Arena of Visions in Ndejje on 14 February 2021 (Valentine’s Day).
