Following their great performance in the subsequent games they have participated in, the Gazelles have received a Women’s Day boost from PostBank Uganda and Crown Beverages Limited (CBL), to celebrate the team for representing the country in a positive light as well as flying the country’s flag high and setting the stage for recognition of local talent and sports at regional and global level.

Gazelles are Uganda’s Women’s National Basketball team and building on their good performance in the different games, the team was able to secure its place in the AfroBasket 2025 tournament following a hard-fought victory against Egypt.

The Afro Basket championship is set to take place from 27th July to 03rd August 2025, in Ivory Coast, and as a way to celebrate this great achievement this Women’s Day, PostBank Uganda has collaborated with CBL to give in kind support to activation’s that are conducted through the office of the Women Commissioner to recognize the team for the hard work and passion showcased on and off the basketball court.


PostBank Uganda Managing Director, Julius Kakeeto (C) receiving a Jersey from Ainematsiko Racheal Atuhairwe ( 2nd R )the Woman Commissioner under the Federation of Uganda Basketball Association (FUBA) and some of the players in Gazelles Basketball team. Following their great performance in recent games they have participated in, the Gazelles have received a Women’s Day boost of Ushs. 5 million from PostBank Uganda and 400 cartons of Nivana water Crown Beverages Limited (CBL), to celebrate the team for representing the country in a positive light as well as flying the country’s flag high and setting the stage for recognition of local talent and sports at regional and global level.

AfroBasket Women (formerly FIBA Africa Championship for Women) is the women’s basketball continental championship of Africa, played every two years organized by FIBA, the world governing body for basketball. The tournament serves to qualify teams for participation in the FIBA Women’s World Cup and the Olympic Games which take place every four years.

PostBank Uganda’s Head of Marketing and Communications, Priscilla Akora, explained that the bank is committed to supporting excellence and resilience, values that the Gazelles have exemplified on their incredible journey to the AfroBasket tournament, and the 2025 Women’s Day was an opportune time to celebrate them and rallying behind them as they prepare for the tournament come July 2025.

“As a bank dedicated to fostering prosperity for Ugandans, we believe this contribution will make a meaningful impact on the team’s preparations. With youth and women empowerment as one of the key pillars of our Corporate Social Investment, this donation is more than just financial support, it also recognizes, inspires, and uplifts women in sports to accelerate the action they want to see in their personal and professional lives which is in line with the 2025 International Women’s Day theme Accelerate Action,” Akora said.

Againe Sandra, the Corporate Communications Manager at Crown Beverages Limited, emphasized the importance of hydration, especially in light of the recent heat wave with temperatures soaring up to 34 degrees, causing discomfort and the need to constantly take water. She said, “This initiative with PostBank is timely, and through the Nivana Brand, CBL will donate 400 cartoons of water because hydration is crucial both during and after training sessions, and we hope this will help the team stay refreshed and energized as they prepare for the upcoming tournaments.”

The Woman Commissioner under the Federation of Uganda Basketball Association (FUBA), Mrs. Ainematsiko Racheal Atuhairwe expressed her gratitude to PostBank Uganda and Crown Beverage Limited for the generous donations towards the activation’s that will be conducted this month to celebrate women in sport.

Mrs. Ainematsiko Racheal said, “We are honored to receive these donations that have come in a time when the Gazelles are soon preparing for AfroBasket tournament, and as FUBA we believe if we join efforts with partners like PostBank, CBL, and all those we collaborate with, we are able to pave way for nurturing or grooming local talent and sports in the country, particularly women’s sports which are often sidelined.”

Gazelle’s Deputy Captain, Akello Hope Agnes appreciated PostBank and CBL for celebrating the team. She said this will inspire them to even soar to greater heights as they represent the country at the 2025 AfroBasket tournament in July this year and also looking forward to the support for the upcoming activations to not celebrate women but also celebrate all young girls and women who play different sports.

PostBank cares for people in its community, and it will always collaborate with stakeholders through activities that are aligned with the Bank’s corporate social agenda while it fulfills its purpose of fostering prosperity for Ugandans.
