Vihiga County Executive Committee Member(CECM) in charge of sports, Mulongo Onzere, has urged Vihiga Queens to walk with their heads high in the forthcoming CECAFA competitions.

The CEC said he has a lot of hopes in the team stating that they have what it takes to lift the CECAFA tournament trophy.

“Vihiga Queens is a big team with their experience on the pitch and I am sure they will carry the day in the tournament,” Mulongo said.

He added: “Vihiga Queens have enough experience after being Kenya Women Premier League (KWPL) champions for the last four years and CECAFA tournament Champions in 2021.”

He said Vihiga County has been at the forefront to support the team and will continue doing so as they continue to uplift the county’s name.

He further called upon the technical bench to ensure they have the best and strong squad to uplift the county’s name.

Mulongo’s sentiments came after Vihiga head coach Boniface Nyamunyamu promised to name his squad, for CECAFA tournaments, next week.

The tournament is set to take place from August 12 to 19 in Uganda. Nyamunyamu on his side had said he would pick players with the best feet.
