FUFA Suspends Denis Guma

Suspended: Denis Guma

FUFA Disciplinary Committee has suspended SC Villa player Denis Guma from all the Federation organized matches for a period of one month for mysteriously disappearing from the National team camp on November 6 this year.

The Cranes player will also have to miss three consecutive super League matches with his registered club of SC Villa as part of the punishment. In addition, he is required to pay a fine of Shs.500.000 (Five Hundred thousand shillings) before being cleared to play subsequent games.

Guma disappeared from the Cranes camp just days before the team travelled to Casablanca in Morocco for the LG cup. Speaking about the verdict, the Federation CEO Edgar Watson said this would serve as an example to other players and help instill discipline among them. It had earlier been alleged that Guma sneaked out of the camp to travel abroad for professional trials but to our surprise, he featured for his club in a league match a day after the national team had left.

Edgar further added that such disciplinary actions had helped tame other players before. He cited examples of Cranes players Tonny Mawejje, Abubaker Tabula and Mike Serumagga who suffered a six months suspension from all football activities for the same offence between 2006 and 2008. Striker Serumagga and Tabula were suspended for absconding from the Cranes team that prepared to play a friendly game against Libya while Mawejje escaped from the camp as the team prepared for a Nations Cup qualifier.

Uganda finished second in the four nations LG Cup last month behind Cameroon and won U$ 30.000 (about UG Shs78m) in prize money. (Issued by Rogers Mulindwa, Head of Communications-FUFA)
