The Pool Association of Uganda and Nile Special have renewed their partnership ahead of the annual Nile Special National Open Pool Championship.
Scheduled to commence on Saturday June 07, and end on Saturday November 11, a sponsorship package worth UGX340M, was been unveiled today.
The Nile Special brand manager Joel Galla together with the Uganda Pool executive leader chairman Bob Trubish did the honours on behalf of the two brands.
“We are delighted to resume our partnership with Nile Special ahead of the National Open Pool Championship 2023. We look forward to seeing pool lovers across the country take part in this tournament,” said Trubish.
The beer brand was the foremost sponsor of the tournament for approximately a decade till a shift in the brand’s strategic direction in 2018 momentarily halted the streak.
Galla expressed optimism remarking that; “The fact that the Championship is played nationwide, it aligns well to the brand’s current strategic approach.”
Over 10,000 pool players are expected to compete in 320 qualifying centres across the country.
This will culminate in two eventual tournament winners for each gender category driving away in a new car each.
There will be cash prizes of up to UGX37.6M distributed across the tournament including the best-performing players from each region of the country.
