"Sensitizing the media helps us promote the sport and also eases the journalist's work because he or she is aware of the technicalities of the sport," Mugabi explained.

Edoo urged UBA to invest more in schools as one way of promoting the sport in the country.

"If we are to make badminton popular, we have to invest in schools and teach teachers how to play the sport," Edoo stated.

He explained that this will help to develop talent at a tender age.
