Just a few weeks ago, Uganda sports federations woke up to the news of the government of Uganda improving the sports budget in the 2022/23 financial year to a tune of Ug. Shs. 47 Billion from Ug. Shs. 17 billions and now it is big money into the pockets of National Basketball League side  Namuwongo Blazers Basketball Club who unveiled Flutter Wave as their new shirt sponsor for the rest of the current 2022 season.

While speaking at the presser where NamBlazers officially unveiled Flutter Wave, the president of Federation of Uganda Basketball Association _ FUBA, Nasser Sserunjogi spoke well of NamBlazers' positioning and achievement.

“What the Namblazers is doing is what everyone should be doing. The NamBlazers is one of the clubs that have branded themselves very well and thus being attractive and productive for sponsors to come on board," Nasser Sserunjogi said.

"Whenever you hear that there is collaboration between any brand and a sporting institution, you smile, because you know we need this more than anything else. I'm learning today that Flutter Wave and the Namblazers are getting into some kind of partnership.

"This is good, this is very good. What the NamBlazers has done is what all teams should be doing. You must brand yourselves well to be able to attract sponsors like Flutter Wave.

“If you brand yourself well, you attract the best in sponsorship and more. I am proud of what the NamBlazers do with their brand, even way before joining the NBL. They've raised the bar so high.

"I'm impressed with the kind of support and sponsorship the team has. They have branded well, they have presence and very visible which makes the product attractable to any partner. Let all teams pick a leaf and together we can grow the sport to Greater heights," he added.
