Tanzanian based Ambrose Awio donated balls to Lira Sports Academy and promised to keep doing the same every season.

On Saturday, 16 July 2022, Awio Ambrose who plays for the Tanzanian side, Polisi Tanzania FC donated 6 original balls to Lira Sports Academy as a personal support towards the grooming of young talents who will replace him in future.

Awio argued the young players to keep away from bad peer groups that would lure them into drug abuse!!!

He advised the players to learn being versatile, claiming he has played all positions in the pitch except goalkeeping. He cautioned the players who do clubbing and drink, "for me I don't drink alcohol and I don't do clubbing....!" Said Awio. He also sighted a number of players whom he grew up with and they were exceptionally talented but they wasted their talent due to indiscipline issues, drug use and alcoholism.

In his final remarks, Awio asked Lira Sports Academy players to work harder and aim higher for greater success. He promised to support the academy every season with balls on handing over the 6 balls to the academy Director Obira Bob and the CEO, Ocogo James aka Ortega.
