Over the weekend, Victoria University carried out soccer trials for talented students who want to pursue university education but are financially incapacitated.

Hopefuls registering for the soccer trials.

Because of the short snap of a football career, with many retiring at 35 or younger, it important to have an education to fall back onto, or even help retiring footballers make good investment decisions.

With that in mind, Victoria University has offered up to 10 scholarships for this year’s intake and hopefuls turned up for trials at the Kampala Parent’s soccer grounds on Saturday.
