Uganda Ludo Federation (ULF) President Hussein Kalule says they look forward to galvanizing their status in the game.
“We thank God for enabling us to reach this milestone but all in all, we expected it,” Kalule noted.
“We have come from far, and we have won everything that has come our way as Uganda as far as the mind game of Ludo is concerned from Africa to the International stage.”
“We promise Ugandans that we shall stay afloat with enough support from the government”, he added.
