National Enterprise Corporation (NEC) FC capped off their season with a celebratory dinner at Royal Suites Hotel, Bugoloobi on Friday. The event was a night of appreciation for players, staff, and leadership.
Club Patron and Managing Director of the National Enterprise Corporation, Lt. Gen. James Mugira, was the guest of honor with a big surprise.
The Club Captain, Kavuma Marvin, gave opening remarks, ending with heartfelt thanks to the management for their great support throughout the season.
Next was the Head Coach Hussein Mbalangu who thanked his technical team, playing staff, members of the media, and the board of directors led by the Club Chairman.
He expressed his dissatisfaction at not being able to present a trophy to the Club Patron this season and aired his commitment to fulfilling this goal next season.
The colourful event saw the Patron accompanied by the Chairman hand over a token of thanks to all the members of the football club.
In his speech, the Patron began by highlighting how close he was to missing the event, saying, “I thought I would miss this, but thankfully I am here. As you can see, I am in this attire; I couldn’t take any chances.”
He highlighted their accomplishment of being runners-up in the Uganda Cup and finishing 6th in the Uganda Premier League (UPL).
“When you entered the UPL, many didn’t think you would last the season. You might not have won the title, but as a new team finishing 6th, it was a great performance.”
“I thought it was important to provide a very comfortable means of transport for our team, so we got you a very comfortable bus to ease the team’s movement,” he concluded.
