The Corporate games Uganda look to be growing at a steady pace.
Barely a year into existance, they are already starting to attract some of the biggest Media in the country.
With Uganda Broadcasting Center (UBC), and Next Media who run NBS TV, Next Radio and Sanyuka TV already on board, the games have added two more giants in the Media industry.
“This gives the participating companies more publicity avenues on different media platforms and ofcourse the media partners will support in promoting a healthy lifestyle among Corporates” said Rumanyika Ian, the Corporate Games Uganda chairman.
The two in question are Kwese TV and Red Pepper who joined Next Media and UBC as the games official publicity partners, this past Sunday as the games embraced their third outing of the year.
Sunday also saw Cavendish University, Oryx and Orion Transformers also become members of the games, participating in their first outing.
Ian said, “More teams are believing in our commitment to zero tolerance to mercenaries and creating a platform for professionals.”
This took the tally of companies currently embracing the games, to an impressive 25.
As the norm, the games which are played every first Sunday of the month, started with the routine aerobics so that the teams warm up.
Football, wood ball and Netball took center stage with all 25 companies in action
The first games of the day saw Mengo hospital drew 1-1 with Uganda Bati, EFC also drew 2-2 with Next Media as FIDUGA beat Ministry of Science 1-0.
As a commitment to ensure high levels of discipline, Darling Uganda has been suspended for the 2019 games for ill behaviour that was exhibited in the third outing.
In his closing remarks, the chairman for the Corporate Games Uganda stressed, “We have seen number of fans grow bigger since we started, thanks to our media partners, we want to fill Namboole. We want to see the stadium get filled up supporting the different corporate companies. More people are turning up for the free morning and evening aerobic sessions, we are happy about the turn up as we inspire Ugandans especially Corporates through sports”
