FASU 3×3 basketball Championship is back and will be underway in Johannesburg, South Africa 22-25 June.

The stakes are higher this time round as the event doubles as a qualifier for the FISU University world Cup 3×3.

Four Makerere University team players have been named to represent the Alma Mata in the ladies category on the grand stage .

Thelma Toskin Delane, a third year student pursuing Bachelor’s of Business Administration -procurement was the first on the list. With so much experience, as far as representing the National Basketball team U 23s, Toskin brings leadership, composure and hardwork to the team.

She is a 2022 NBL finalist having been part of the JKL Dolphins that was taken out by UCU in a shock comeback. Toskin has been actively playing in the National Basketball League and has been part of the Rotation of league leaders JKL Dolphins.

Tekitendwa Eden Denise is a student pursuing a Bachelor’s of social works and social sciences currently in third year. Formerly with the Angels in 2022, Denise caught eyes of a couple teams as she was a a very big prospect.

She transferred to National Basketball League side Miracle Ravens who currently sit in 7th place with 7-5 record. Denise brings experience, height, ability to secure rebounds and also protecting the rim leading the league in blocks per game.

Martha Oluka is the pick that left many people questioning but she’s certainly a hard worker with great competitive spirit and zeal for the game. Martha played for the Makerere Sparks in 2022 in the Division one and caught the eye of some scouts. She got a big move to NBL side Angels but was unable to play in the first round after a few issues with the registration which made her ineligible to participate.

She got her debut in the top Division on 18th June, against KIU Rangers. Martha is a versatile player with ball handling skills and ability to shoot, she’ll certainly bring her craftiness and given that it’s her first shot playing on a global stage, she’s out to impress and make a name for herself.

Generous Grant is a second year student pursuing Bachelor of Information Systems and Technology and she’s actively playing for the JKL Dolphins. She’s also a 2022 NBL finalist and brings alot of experience to the team. Grant has exhibited great skills in ball handling and is certainly a point scorer despite being a role player for the 2 time Champions. Grant is no stranger to big events as she has represented on the grand stage.

Thelma and Denise represented at the previous edition in Nairobi and managed to finish in 3rd place.

The ladies are set to travel on the 22nd and the games shall be played on 23rd and 24th.
