Why the high ticket prices for fans who have all along sacrificed everything to support the team? FUFA should not only look at making a huge difference but getting more fans in the stands to support the team because they are needed. When we went to Rwanda for the return leg of the CHAN game, Ugandan fans were shocked that the ordinary tickets costs 4,500 Ugshs and yet we paid 15,000/= to access St. Mary’s stadium in Kitende. FUFA needs to be considerate to fans who make sacrifices to support the team all the time.
