Mbale Heroes FC Patron Hon. Nathan Nandala Mafabi has rallied all Mbale people and well wishers to stand with their home team ahead of the 2024/25 Uganda Premier League season.
Mbale Heroes who bounced back to the top tier after nearly two decades will play top flight football this coming season with over 1.5B required to steer the team through the campaign.
“I call upon all Mbale people to unite and rally behind our team a head of the debut season after 19 years in lower divisions.
Corporate companies and well wishers should also join the cause as we look for a 1.5B, a tune to steer us through the season”. Nandala Mafabi.
