Dear colleague,
RE: Condolence massage from Ugandan FA
I have learnt with great shock the bloodiest event in Egypt’s football history that occurred on Wednesday 1st February 2012 and left over 70 of our football fans dead!
Football, as a social game is partly intended to unite people from all spheres regardless of their tribes, political affiliations, religions or even skin colours among other segregative factors. We therefore, condemn violence and the pitch invasion by fans, confronting each other was regrettable and an incident that should never happen again on our continent.
On my own behalf, my executive committee and the entire football fraternity in Uganda we wish to convey our heartfelt condolences to you, to the federation, the bereaved families, the players, the football fans and all people of Egypt upon this loss of lives.
It’s my prayer that the government security agencies speed up the investigations to establish the real motives behind this deadly mission. We shall continue praying for you for a quick recovery from this bloodily shock.
Yours
Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA)
