The administration and learners of Oasis boarding primary school, Muni campus encourage other institutions of learning in West Nile to take up development of ladies talent in football to give them holistic learning.
The school made this appeal after being crowned the National champions of the FUFA Odilo tournament for girls that was played at the FUFA technical center Njeru.
Gerard Tayo, the administrator of the school explains the progress girls in the school have achieved in ladies football as a result of their commitment to talent identification and development.
“For the FIASHA games, our girls team since they won the National trophy, they were chosen to go and represent Uganda in the games, they went there and played well, after receiving them, since they were also champions of West Nile regional girls Odilo tournament, they also went back to the FUFA technical center Njeru participated very well, they happened to win the trophy,” Gerard said.
Some of the girls who participated in the tournament express a lot of excitement, and hope for more achievements in the future.
Opima Emmanuel, the coach for this girls’ team at Oasis urges the other schools to copy what they are doing so as to improve ladies football in the region.
“They should take it from us, they should also cooperate and compete so that we lift the name of West Nile, also their school, so that we improve the football of girls in West Nile,” said Emmanuel.
But coach Batal Bosco, the management director of talent and skills sports academy in Koboko says, what needs to be done is to put resources to develop talent of the girls in the region as the region has a good number of talented girls.
“The ladies are talented but the ways of bringing them up are very terrible, no one is committing themselves in nurturing this talent, what is happening is in West Nile and Arua, people are only looking for the best, they want the best player, but they don’t want to put in their time to develop the best,” Batal said.
Before this milestone in the National Odilo tournament, the school emerged as the fourth best in the recent National music dance and drama festivals in Mbarara high school in Mbarara city,
