\nThe national men\u2019s sitting volleyball team is likely to skip next week\u2019s World Cup qualifiers in Morocco due to lack of funding.
\nThe physically challenged team, which has been training at Lugogo for the last two months, needs Shs100m to travel to North Africa for the event due April 14 to 18.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be very unfair for the team to miss the qualifiers after all this hard work,\u201d Uganda National Sitting Volleyball chairman, Ali Mukasa, told Daily Monitor. \u201cWe don\u2019t know where to turn to now that government tells us there is no money.\u201d A 16-man team has already been named for the event.
