“We didn’t get money from the event, not even what we injected in on that day, but I am impressed that the locals had business and look forward to bringing more events again,” Kabenge said.

“This is a good start. Now the locals have also realised that they need to put up accommodation facilities so that there are enough accommodation facilities for fans to spend nights in Butambala,” the Express Football Club life member stated.
