    The evidence was supported by the Chairperson of the FSL Board and other Board members who asserted that the Uganda Premier League is suspended yet FUFA had issued a circular number 1004 to the clubs to continue with league matches but not allow the broadcast of the games following an interim court order.
    In light of the above, the FUFA Disciplinary Committee came up with the following sanctions;
