Kampala
National Basketball League defending champions Mogas Falcons have written to President Yoweri Museveni asking him for financial support ahead of their trip to Ethiopia.
"Falcons are Uganda's ambassadors, but we have no money to go and represent the country in Ethiopia," reads the letter in part, signed by the club patron John Ssimbwa.
Falcons need Shs51m to take a 19-man contingent for the Africa Zone 5 Club Championships getting underway on October 28 in Addis Ababa. "We have tried elsewhere and failed, His Excellency is now our last hope," Ssimbwa told Daily Monitor.
