Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA) will this Friday crown the best junior Athletes of the year 2015, 2016 and 2018 during the NSSF-sponsored USPA Juniors’ Awards night at the Imperial Royale hotel.
The third edition of the minors’ award will be graced by National social security fund (NSSF) Managing Director Richard Patrick Byarugaba.
The minors were not crowned during the previous Nile Special USPA annual Gala because of the USPA and Nile Special policy of not associating children below 18years with Alcohol.
“We are set everything is in place. We are grateful with NSSF coming on board to support our initiative to motivate the young talents,” noted USPA President, Patrick Kanyomozi.
Among those to be crowned are motocross stars Aviv Orland and his sibling Stav Orland, who were the best during the FIM Africa Motocross Championship in 2016 and 2018 respectively.
Swimmer Kirabo Namutebi will also be awarded.
