CHALLENGES OF 9^TH EAUSF

Ø  Few numbers of players due to the budget provided e.g volleyball team only six players were registered without even a single substitute

Ø  Problem of fixtures in Uganda

e.g the fixture always came late therefore players had no enough preparation.

Ø  Football pitches were far away from the hostel considering that we were not familiar with the environment.

Ø  Mistreatments from the hosting Universities e.g referees were not fair to Tanzanian teams.

Ø  The problem of academic time table which results poor participation of players in the ground in the morning and evening at MUCE during preparation of team. 

SPECIAL THANKS

Ø  To the management who facilitated the costs towards 9^th EAUSF.

Ø  DARUSO MUCE for their contribution of Tshs 1,400,000/=

Ø  Dean of students for his kindness and his effective collaboration with players on the way to Uganda and during the competition in Uganda.

Ø  All players, who participated affectively in the 9^th EAUSF.

Ø  All MUCE students for their prayers.

Ø  DARUSO MUCE for contribution of Tshs 350,000/= as the cost for camp services (tea in the morning).
