Friday nights in Kampala are set to become fun again for basketball fans as organisers have confirmed the return of the Tusker Lite Friday Night Lights. The event which had taken a break over the festive season is on this weekend, Friday, January 25 and fans can expect to enjoy a chilled evening while also being part of the exciting games.
Now in its eighth edition, the event that happens at Panamera Bar in Naguru took a new and exciting twist last year with the format of play being changed to a 3-on-3. With this new format, basketball fans get to play alongside their favourite players in teams of three as opposed to teams of five. The 3*3 format requires each team to have three basketball players, three fans, and two ladies.
After seven editions, one might argue that FNL has managed to position itself as one of the most exciting basketball events in the country. Starting Friday, January 25 and for four consecutive Fridays, about eight games will be played each night. The winning team will go home with lots of prizes from the tournament’s sponsors with Shs100,000 up for grabs courtesy of Tusker Lite for each night’s winner.
