*The numbers in the brackets indicate the number of players that have represented each country.*
Last week’s edition of the practice tournament (nations league) saw 8 countries represented. Colombia 🇨🇴 fielded the most players, with 6 players in attendance. Followed by Uganda 🇺🇬 with 4 players. The U.K. 🇬🇧 team represented by 3 players. Followed by Team Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 represented by 2 players.
With 1 each from the remaining 4 countries: Belarus 🇧🇾, Benin 🇧🇯 Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Spain 🇪🇸
With 20 editions to go till this season’s nations league end, it is looking evermore unlikely that any country will be able to close the lead accumulated by Team Uganda 🇺🇬. It is still technically possible, for any team to surmount this lead, with an overwhelming number of players and consistency, Team Uganda 🇺🇬 can be toppled. So which country’s Oware playing fraternity is up to the challenge. A good starting point is to select a team leader, recruiters, marketeers and cheerleaders. So let’s see which nation will be able to do justice to this challenge.
