To facilitate this grand activity PCB will extend full support for selection in each of the cities and will also provide speed detecting guns for the selection of candidates.

This agreement is an effort from the fastest data network to find the fastest arm in the country.
He further said that this activity can be the founding step for a long lasting relationship with PCB, and Ufone will continue to explore other avenues to further cooperate with PCB and conduct similar activities to cater to the needs of our young talent.
