The top three performers from the Rwanda Series grand finale will secure their spots to compete in the regional NCBA Golf Series grand finale at Muthaiga Golf Club in Kenya.
Marking a significant milestone for both NCBA Group and Rwanda's golfing community, the series underscores the bank's commitment to supporting sports development and contributing to the nation's economic growth.
"We are thrilled to introduce the NCBA Golf Series, a testament to our dedication to Rwanda's sports progress," said Diana Mukunde, the Head of Corporate Banking at NCBA Rwanda.
Golf as a sport, is a unifying activity that bridges diverse communities through shared play, promoting physical health and mental well-being. It offers cardiovascular benefits, stress relief, and fosters social interactions across various demographics.
"Golf is more than a sport; it's a platform for networking, community building, and economic advancement. We are thrilled to have NCBA supporting the game and spreading it to those who don't know about it,' said Marcel Byusa, the President of Kigali Golf Club.
The series provides a unique opportunity for NCBA to enhance brand visibility and customer engagement while positioning itself as a key player in the local business and sporting communities.
"Beyond sports and business, golf embodies health, wellness, etiquette, and discipline. We are proud to have this partnership that will take golf to the next level in Rwanda and the region,' affirmed Andrew Kulayije, Captain of Kigali Golf Club.
Building on the success of its golf series in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, NCBA aims to replicate the game's development in Rwanda.
As the fastest-growing subsidiary in the region, NCBA Rwanda's participation in the series highlights its commitment to expanding its footprint and fostering community engagement.
Sports sponsorship is central to NCBA Group's sustainability vision, aligning with its goal of driving economic and social progress. By positioning the golf series as an annual event on Rwanda's sporting calendar, NCBA aims to make a lasting impact on the country's golfing landscape.
