THREE banks have come on board to facilitate the University Games, which have MTN as the main sponsor. The games, organised by the National University Sports Federations (NUSFU) are due at Ndejje University starting Saturday.

Bank of Uganda, Centenary Rural Development Bank (CERUDEB) and Nile Bank have joined the German Embassy and Azur by offering support both in cash and in kind to help in the organisation of the games.

“We expect about 17 universities to take part. They have all been training hard and I am sure it will be a worthwhile competition,” said NUSFU secretary Patrick Ssebuliba.

Among the competitions to watch will be basketball, where the MTN League winners Nkumba Marines will face off with Kampala International University and Makerere University.

Save for swimming that will take place at Makerere University swimming pool, all the other games will be held at the Ndejje University campus.
