Water football club has been reinstated to the FUFA Big league.
The development follows FUFA’s executive committee meeting that was held on Tuesday at FUFA House in Mengo.
“Water F.C was reinstated after the Executive meeting on Tuesday following an appeal filed by the club”, Ahmed Hussein, FUFA media officer told the media.
Water F.C last featured in the FUFA Super league during the season of 2012/13 and they were relegated to the lower tier division.
“They will however have to meet the necessary requirements necessary for any team to participate in the FUFA Big league”, Ahmed added.
Water F.C Appeal:
On June 20th 2014, Water F.C lodged an appeal to FUFA explaining the circumstances under which their team was excluded for the FUFA Big league in the 2013/14 season.
“During that period (2013/14), we did not have a board and a substantive managing director but the players continued practicing and were being paid. The board has been since appointed and have shown support towards the team by reconstituting the management of the team.
This is to appeal to your office to admit Water F.C in the FUFA Big league for the season 2014-15”, the appeal letter signed by club chairman, Sonko Kiwanuka reads in part.
FUFA Executive Committee sat on Tuesday and ruled in the favour of Water F.C.
