Meanwhile, for any school of that country to host the FEASSA games, it must have several standard grounds, Courts indoor and outdoor but in case of a joint bid, which Amus college school –Bukedea is opting for alongside Mbale Secondary school, each of the schools is required to have at least good infrastructure and accommodation that will be enough to house students.
