The FUFA Competitions Directorate has set 28th August as the tentative date for the kick-off of the Big league that has attracted 25 clubs-but will be divided into two pools.
The announcement was made today by the FUFA Competitions manager Ali Mwebe at FUFA House in Mengo.
There was change coming up with groups as the geographical local of teams wasn’t considered this time like in the past editions of the league.
The FUFA Vice President who also heads the Competitions committee Darius Mugoye attended the important meeting in which presentations were made on rules and regulations to the clubs for the coming season.
The meeting also attended by FUFA Licensing Board members and representatives of the 25 teams including FUFA Super League relegated sides Proline, CRO and Masaka LC were also informed that the inspection of facilities will be conducted ten days before the kickoff.

Kudos for the reforms, especially the planning meeting with all representatives of all participating teams. The random placing of teams also gives them a better picture of the super league as opposed to the regional draws. I believe we shan’t have excuses of so and so manipulated the SECRET rules to their advantage. Football wins; aluta continua
