Point Guard Bbale Fayed makes the squad that will represent Uganda in the second window of the AfroBasket 2021 Qualifiers.
Bbale Fayed who plays in the National Basketball League NBL and stands at 173 cm is known for his nimble moves. He is one who gets the crowds at Lugogo MTN Arena up on their feet every time he drives into the D to shake, fake, or make a stunning pass. Bbale was instrumental in the last playoffs where his side UCU Canons played against City Oilers. Unfortunately, the title went to City Oilers.
Bbale Fayed has been in a training camp under the guidance of coach Mandy Juruni together with the home-based players for the last six weeks. Silverbacks technical team summoned 13 players comprised of eight home-based players and five foreign-based players who will depart for Tunisia on February 4, 2021, for a training camp in the host city.
