Junior Ugandan female rider Shadia Kateete 85cc is not scared of the foreign motocross riders coming for the first edition of the Armed Forces Championship.

Over 25 foreign motocross riders have already confirmed their participation in the championship scheduled to take place on sixth October at Busiika Motocross Arena.

At just 8 years of age, Shadia Kateete is hoping to be the Uganda number one female motocross rider.

She is among Ugandan riders aiming to showcase her talent during the newly introduced Armed Forces Appreciation Motocross championship.

During an interview with her, the Junior Rider revealed her desire to be the top female rider in Uganda.

This competition has renewed Kateete’s desire to pit herself against the best. “This number of foreign riders is big and it seems that more are coming, this is like a wake up for Ugandans to start training.”

A list of over 25 foreign riders have already been released by FMU.

However, Kateete says she has been unwell and this had forced her to delay her training. “I have been sick and my father has been outside Uganda, I am getting better to start preparation,” says Kateete.

Over 25 foreign motocross riders from USA, Israel, South Africa, and Zimbabwe among others have already confirmed their participation in forthcoming first edition of the Armed Forces Motocross Championship.

Seven Israelites; Itay Wineberg 65cc, Sean Ofshtein 85cc, Or Zarko 85cc, Shay Spector 125cc Gelev Formano 250cc Gil Zarko 250cc, Dadia Ariel 450cc, Seven South African motocross riders lead by Jonathan Mlimi 125cc and Mc Lellan also ridding 125cc and Zimbabwe super Star Ashwell Jayden 450CC have already confirmed their participation in the championship.

A total of 25 foreign riders have already been released by the Federation Motorsport Club of Uganda.
Germany, France Kenya, and Congo are other countries that have already confirmed their participation.

The Armed Forces Appreciation Championship is organized by Uganda Motocross Club and all proceeds will go to the renovation of schools and hospitals in Prisons, Police, Uganda Wildlife and UPDF.
