Entebbe vs Police FC

Life, so far is not easy for Entebbe Fc who are in relegation zone in the FSL while Police might be having different plans for the season. Entebbe FC-the only team yet to win a game in the FSL decided to use Bugonga as their home ground for the Uganda cup matches so that they get the full support of their fans with the hope of backing the teams as well in the remaining fixtures of the FSL.
‘Every game is like a cup final for our boys. We want to perform well in both the Uganda cup and league’ said Rehema Nakabuye-Secretary of Entebbe FC.
Entebbe will be allowed to use Sentamu Siraje who was red cared in the game against Masaka LC in the league.
