Some of the already confirmed schools include the hosts Africa Junior Primary school Bulenga, White Angels Primary School Bulenga, Lincoln Primary School, Wisdom Preparatory School Bulenga among others.

Two play grounds will be used for the tournament. During the launch, the national emblem, Crested Cranes kept hoving around the main playground at Africa Junior School Bulenga as they feasted on the small insects.

Could this be a vivid sign of good omen?
