Ugandan Govt. in conformity with FIFA Statutes

The central government has come out strongly to defend FUFA against Uganda Super League Limited and sounded a warning to all Super League clubs against defying the FIFA statutes and conducting themselves in a manner that contradicts the FUFA rules.

The warning was made by the state minister for sports Hon. Charles Bakabulindi and complimented by the ministry of education and sports Under Secretary, Aggrey Kibenge in a meeting held at the National Council of Sports headquarters in Lugogo this Monday.

The Minister said the rules governing association football were totally different from the company laws and added that the continued culture of taking football matters to the ordinary courts of law had ‘irritated’ him.

The minister was speaking in a meeting attended by the Super Division club leaders, FUFA officials and the banned USL board chairman Kavuma Kabenge together with the CEO Jimmy Ssegawa. The meeting was also open to the media.

Kibenge said it was imperative that USLL worked closely with FUFA- a body that created them. The meeting was attended by the commander of Land Forces Lt. Gen. Katumba Wamala, FUFA President Lawrence Mulindwa, Eng Moses Magogo, Mujib Kasule and Sam Mpima among others.

The meeting resolved as follows:

  • All matches played under non acceptable referees be re-fixed and a new USL League table standing be circulated.
  • Clubs will now communicate through the secretariat headed by the league manager.
  • Hoima-Busia FC be reinstated.
  • The League should learn as per the approved FUFA rules
  • FUFA will then provide the acceptable referees.

Meanwhile officials from FIFA, Ashford Mamelodi and Primo Corvaro  will tomorrow Tuesday meet the USL club officials at the Federation headquarters starting 2:00pm. The duo is expected to meet the FUFA leadership earlier in the day.
