*The numbers in the brackets indicate the number of players that have represented each country.*
Last week’s edition of the practice tournament (nations league) had 8 countries represented. Uganda 🇺🇬 represented by 4 players. Followed by the UK 🇬🇧 represented by 2 players. Austria 🇦🇹, Belarus 🇧🇾, Colombia 🇨🇴, Czech Republic 🇨🇿, Germany 🇩🇪 & Ghana 🇬🇭 were each represented by one player each.
This week there was one change to the nations league ranking order. The U.K. 🇬🇧 pulled ahead of Nigeria 🇳🇬 to place 3rd. As already stated in the individual league report, participation numbers fell victim to the time moving forward one hour to BST in the UK 🇬🇧.
With 12 editions to go, team Uganda 🇺🇬 continues to pull ahead with an increased 379 points lead against Colombia, the nearest contender. Being organised and consistent is certainly paying of for team Uganda 🇺🇬. These qualities need to be emulated by other national teams if their performance is to be improved and the game is to be more organised.
