The big lead was a giant challenge for IUIU female stallions.

She pledged support to the team and promised to renovate the courts to make it easy for the girls to play on a safe court. In the same spirit, the head coach for IUIU females’ stallions Mr. Edris R highlighted his concerns to the media that he is building a team from scratch and promised to make Islamic university in Uganda females campus a home for basketball talents in two years to come. He appreciated the administration for supporting his stallions regardless of the gradual improvement. He also advised the team to work hard to achieve and gain from the game. In the team talk session after the game, Ms. Lynn KCCA leopard’s coach preached discipline, consistency, and listening to instructions from the trainers among other major basketball values are key in learning, relearning, and mastering the game.

Islamic university in Uganda female’s campus-kabojja is situated at kabojja, Wakiso district. It was initially intended to run day, evening, and weekend programs. However, since its inception, the campus is still running day and weekend programs and all run on the semester programs. The rationale for establishing a females’ campus was to increase access to higher education for female students from Uganda and other English-speaking African countries, to create a conducive environment that will lead to more successful completion rates and participation by female students, and also as a core value of Islam of as much as possible creating separate environments for females. The Females’ campus is strategically located in Wakiso district, just 1.5km away from Ñatete town off Nakawuka road.
