The Investigatory Chamber of the FUFA Ethics and Disciplinary Committee has imposed a provisional 90-day suspension on three players of Buhimba United Saints FC, arising from their potential involvement in the manipulation of football results.
The sanctions arise from an investigation into the match played between Lugazi FC and Buhimba United Saints on 08/11/2025, which, according to the information gathered so far by the investigation, indicates that it was manipulated for betting purposes.
Following receipt of information about the alleged manipulation of the match, the Investigatory Chamber commenced an investigation into the match. The evidence obtained so far indicates a potential involvement of the provisionally sanctioned players. Formal investigation proceedings for potential violation of Article 43 of the FUFA Ethics and Disciplinary Code (Manipulation of Football Matches or Competitions) have been opened.
The conduct of the individuals involved appears to be a violation of the criminal provisions of the National Sports Act, and the matter will be reported to the Uganda Police.
In accordance with Section 78 of the FUFA Ethics and Disciplinary Code, the Chairperson of the Investigatory Chamber of the FUFA Ethics and Disciplinary Committee decided to provisionally suspend the players pending the completion of the investigation to protect the integrity of the competition.
The following players have been sanctioned:
- Ayebale Moses

Each of the players has been personally notified of this decision. The suspensions take effect immediately.
