PRESS RELEASE ON: THE STATE OF ONDUPARAKA FC (BY CLUB CHAIRMAN)

Ladies and Gentlemen, members of the press and everybody (following the conversation nonline), a very warm welcome to our 2019 State of the Club address.

It's on days like today that we are all reminded and heartened by the loyalty and passion of the Onduparaka FC family. 

On behalf of the Board, Players, Coaches and Staff, thank you to everyone for your continued support of our club. It really does mean alot. 

There is no doubt in 2018/19 season, we all had to endure the touchest period in our three years journey in the Uganda Premier League. We overcame and continue to face our challenges headon and remain confident in the position of our players and will continue to support them unconditionally throughout this new season that is upon us. 

As Chairman, I often get asked how our club has not fractured, how have we not imploded under the pressure of this drawn out process?.

The answer is simple: at Onduparaka FC, 'our fabric' is exceptionally strong. 

Together we make it strong. Together we ensure that it will always stand the test of time. And together, we will build a stronger and more successful Onduparaka Football Club for the future. 

Our 2019/20 theme is formally launched (on Thursday), "Embracing Our Heritage" and our new hashtag #GodsTeam which both celebrates the strength of the facric that bonds our club and it's history and success. 

Everyone (press) and online is part of this bond, this fabric. Each and every player, staff member and fan has contributed to the fabric of our wounderful club.
