KCCA Ladies rewarded UGX 10m for winning the National Volleyball League

KCCA Ladies Volleyball Club has been rewarded for their success in the recently concluded National Volleyball League

The team was on Thursday presented with a cash prize of UGX 10m by Kampala Capital City Authority Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago.

The mayor emphasised the authority's commitment to sport while addressing the players, who gathered at City Hall for a luncheon.

"This is just a small token to boost your morale," Lukwago told the smartly dressed team.

"We are committed to supporting you. Trophies or no trophies, we shall be supporting you," he added.

"That doesn't mean you should relax.

"We are always top, always up there."

The event, held on Thursday morning, started with the team having a trophy parade from MTN Omondi Stadium through the city and up to City Hall.

KCCA defeated Sport-S 2-0 in the finals to win their first league title in 17 years and, in turn, qualify for the Africa Club Championship.

The Lord Mayor also revealed that the authority is keen on helping the club upgrade their home ground in Naguru to sort out the infrastructure problems.

KCCA's last league title had come in 2006, and the 2023 title is expected to give the team a lift to more success.

One year from now, KCCA will be expected to represent Uganda at the Africa Club Championship.
