The Mbarara-based Bwizibwera United Football Club has qualified for the 3rd Division Of Uganda’s top league-Swift Daily News reports exclusively.
Club stakeholders attribute this success to Uganda’s leading betting company Bunga Bet which is sponsoring this team singlehandedly.
This site understands that this club will be hosting matches from Bwizibwera playground and it’s the only team representing Mbarara District.
Bunga Bet CEO Mr. Prosper Tuheise has revealed to our reporter that he is committed to lifting Uganda’s sports and vowed that through his betting company will continue injecting millions into this team to make sure that it gets into the National League.
“The only thing I can pay back to Ugandans who have supported Bunga Bet since its establishment is to pay back through sponsoring some of our local teams. Today we are sponsoring Bwizibwera tomorrow we can sponsor the national team,” said Prosper adding:
“On the success of Bwizibwera as a team, I want to tell our fans that we are committed to lifting this team and taking it to greater heights. So far we have signed 15 new players to boost our chances of getting into the national league and am sure we shall reach there.”
Meanwhile, stakeholders have since showered praises to Bunga Bet noting that without its support, the team wouldn’t be registering such mega victories.
“The sponsor we have loves and understands football. We have since become Western Uganda’s powerful team because of Bunga Bet therefore, I want to wholeheartedly thank Mr Prosper and the entire Bunga Bet family for supporting our Bwizibwera,” noted a jubilant fan.
Bunga Bet opened its doors for business in 2017 and is the first indigenous betting company in a flooded industry dominated by foreign companies but of course, being a tactical entrepreneur, Tuhaise has been able to keep afloat.
At the moment, Bunga Bet employs thousands of Ugandans with over 50 outlets throughout the country.
On top of the common betting on football matches, Bunga Bet also offers a platform for virtual betting as well as slot machines.
