A team of young baseball players from Uganda are to make history when they play for the first African team in the Little League Baseball World Series.
They are the first African team to compete in the Little League Baseball World Series in Pennsylvania – and they’ve been given a huge welcome – Reports Aljazeera world news service.
Last year, the players and their coaches lost their first game when the State Department denied visa applications. The Little League World Series, which begun on Aug 19 2011, proceeded without them. The State Department did not give specific reasons for the denial, but it told Little League officials that there were discrepancies in the players’ documentation.
