The Nile Special amateur football tournament in which bars across the country faced off in a 5-Aside arrangement climaxed on Saturday with Soroti’s Team Facebook emerging champions.
Team Facebook triumphed over Tavern Kick with a 2-0 victory to win the inaugural tournament.
This followed a display of entertaining football as the 16 teams which had made it through the regionals to the nationals took on each other.
Team Facebook received a cash prize of Ugx 2 million and will also represent Uganda at the Africa 5-Aside tournament in Tanzania where the overall winning team will earn an all expense paid European tour in the company of Cameroonian football legend Samuel E’to.
Away from the football, revelers also enjoyed performances from musicians Vinka and John Blaq as they day’s fun came to an end.
