Taking full advantage of the continued lockdown because of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, football lovers in Mbarara District are on a desperate project to re-green the Nyamityobora play-ground.

This diligent effort has been overseen by area local leaders led by the Nyamityobora political arm.

The playground in the box is situated in Nyamityobora ward, Kakooba division (Mbarara City South Division) in Mbarara Municipality.

Councillor Muzamiru Ssekajja, also the interim chairman of Nyamityobora Football Club, a FUFA Big League entity is among the key brains and weights behind the initiative.

According to the chairperson of the youth in Nyamitybora cell, Easy Man Adams, also a budding musician, the mobilization of the youth for the upgrade of the facility stemmed from a few people before it spread drastically.

“A group of committed youth came up with the idea of improving the Nyamityobora play ground. We started with axes and hoes to manually do the job before the Municipality came in with a tractor to help with the levelling of the ground. We are humbled and shall work together to plant the grass across the entire field” Adams attested to Kawowo Sports.

Other personalities in full support of the fencing, levelling and grass-planting drive on the Nyamityobora play ground includes the club vice chairman Hajji Yahaya Ssemugenze, councillor Amos among others.
