Proline Soccer Academy is well known for its excellence in the promotion of football talents from a young age.
Players like Fahad Bayo, Bright Anukani, Nordin Bunjo, Alpha Ssali, Rogers Mato, and Nelson Senkatuka among others have gone through the Lugogo-based academy.
Proline now has a huge opportunity to implement its culture in the school-going minors after entering into a long-term partnership with Hormisdallen Primary School-Gayaza.
The partnership launched today intends to develop and nurture football players under Proline Soccer Academy.
Proline was founded as an academy in 2006 before qualifying for the premier league in 2007. The side has since won the FUFA Big League and the 2018/19 Stanbic Uganda Cup as they became the first lower division side to win the cup. They are however playing in the third division Kampala region league currently.
Elsewhere, The StarTimes Uganda premier league continues this Friday with three match day eight fixtures.
