Match day two of the 2019 FUFA Drum competition will be held this coming weekend on Saturday, 13th April and the subsequent day.
The respective teams are roaring and eager for action following the opening weekend, a fort night ago.
As match day two kicks off, all the teams have received two sets of jerseys that will be used this very season.
This is an improvement from last season, where every province got only one pair of uniforms.
On Wednesday, during the weekly press conference at FUFA House in Mengo, the jerseys were officially launched and displayed before the media by the FUFA Drum local organizing committee chairperson, Rogers Byamukama.
‘There are two sets each for the 16 provinces in the FUFA Drum tournament. We are set for the match day two this weekend and the tournament is getting competitive by the day. Unlike last season, the gap between the teams has been narrowed down and this was proved during match day one where teams as Bunyoro picked a win away over West Nile in Zombo, Kampala lost to Rwenzori and Karamoja fell to Acholi away in Gulu’ Rogers Byamukama disclosed.
