By first impression, tennage footballer, Seif Batte’s stature will wholesomely win your heart on the initial sight.
Well built with a relatively good height, Batte can be easily mistaken for that old fashioned laid back center half.
The 18 year old born and bred Kazo breed has the eye for the goal net.
Blessed with blistering pace and ball skills, the gangly lad has been a menace to every team in the Kampala regional league.
Edwin Nshuti, team manager at Stegotta F.C, where the forward has scored 21 goals in 20 games this term, tags the striker as a ‘one goal per match striker’.
He thrives on pace, great dribbling skills and the power of his shot to score goals
Nshuti says of the youthful forward.

Early Life:
Batte started his football journey with the Super Eagles youth team of Kazo, he had a brief stint at Kampala Kids League before joining the famous Kazo Football Academy.
I love to score goals especially when I get players who supply the balls well
Batte, one person with a rather shy persona then opens up.
He credits his team mates at Stegotta F.C especially Juma Kafeero for the support that has enabled become top scorer in a competitive Kampala league.
The third born in the family of four was born on 25th November 1996 to Isma and Amina Batte of Kazo, a Kampala suburb.
Batte love his family the same way he cherishes his favourite soccer boot.
I love my siblings a lot but mum (mother) remains my number one for the care and guidance
He notes.
Batte’s 21 goals of the regular season in the 2014/15 Kampala regional have already attracted top scouts, agents and football clubs in Uganda and the region.
I have received many offers with clubs like Bright Stars and SC Villa (Uganda), Tusker (Kenya) are asking if I can join them. However, I will first talk to the club (Stegotta F.C) manager to guide me
Batte adds.
Like his two role models, Christiano Ronaldo and former Uganda Cranes international, Batte is a very fast player on the field of play.
How fast he graduates into a polished diamond remains the issue of preparation, composure, belief and obvious the blessing of the Almighty God (Allah).
