But, club patron Neko Muduse-Ojala believes the team will put up a good show in Tunisia.\u201cIn the last edition held in Egypt, we would have played in the semifinal but the boys went to play the quarterfinal game with their luggage thrown out of the hotel for nonpayment,\u201d Muduse-Ojala recalls.\u201cTwo hours after their quarterfinal loss, I got the money and sent it. They won the next placement game and we finished sixth overall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This time, Nemostars travel with less than the total amount required to pay for their accommodation and feeding but \u2018Old Coach\u2019 hopes that if they are allowed to check into the hotel, he will fundraise the rest in the next two or three days.An air ticket costs US$900, upkeep $700, visa fees $23, and Covid-19 test in Tunis goes for $80 per individual. This is $1,703 (Shs6.1m) per player.For a team of 10 players and one official, the sum comes to Shs67.5m. The team will spend 12 days in Sousse, located 140 km south of the capital Tunis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have written messages to the National Council of Sports bosses asking for assistance. Apart from Don Rukare, the chairman, who has always given me some money and promised again, the rest read my messages and they do not respond,\u201d Muduse-Ojala says.A total of 24 teams will take in Africa\u2019s volleyball showpiece tournament that runs from April 16-28.<\/p>\n<p><b>NEMOSTARS CONTINGENT<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Coach: Andrew OkapisPlayers: George Aporu (captain), SmithOkumu, Leonard Wandera, SavierAtama, Jonathan Tumukunde, StevenWandera, Fahad Zungu, Bernard Malinga,Emmanuel Elanyu and Walter Aloka<\/p>\n<p><b>smpoza@ntv.co.ug<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
