Uganda’s campaign at the FIBA U23 3X3 Women’s Basketball World Cup 2024 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, got off to a disappointing start with two defeats in their opening two Pool D games.
The Ugandan team, represented by Winifred Akello, Keren Becky Longom, Shillah Lamunu and Mary Priscilla Nambogo, suffered a 18-10 loss to Egypt in their first game before being thrashed 19-6 by Netherlands.
Becky Longom leads Uganda’s points scorer chat with 8 points followed by Mary Nambogo with 6 points.
Uganda will now face Chile and France in their final Pool D games on Saturday September 14th.
Despite the slow start, Uganda will be hoping to bounce back and pick up maximum points in their final Pool games.
