NCBA Bank Rwanda today officially launched the first NCBA Rwanda Golf Series at the Kigali Golf Resort and Villas. Themed “Swing Your Way to Greatness,” the series kicks off today, August 9, and continues tomorrow, August 10, having attracted two hundred golfers, culminating in a grand finale on September 21, 2024.
Top 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 on November 29, 2024.
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,” stated Diana Mukunde, NCBA Rwanda Head of Business.
“Golf is more than a sport; it’s a platform for networking, community building, and economic advancement. We are thrilled to have both NCBA and the media here to support the game and spread it to those who don’t know about it,” said Byusa Marcel, President of the 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,” commented Captain of Kigali Golf Club, Andrew Kulayigye.
Building on the success of its golf series in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, NCBA aims to replicate this success 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 a marquee event on Rwanda’s sporting calendar, NCBA aims to make a lasting impact on the country’s golfing landscape.
