  • Uganda Cranes bus driver is dead

    FUFA CEO Edgar Watson Suubi confirmed the death of his staff

    The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) regrets to announce the death of Mr. Amir Kalanzi who has been the Cranes Bus driver.

    Kalanzi passed on from Mulago Referral Hospital where he had been admitted since Monday. He had earlier been admitted at Malcom International Hospital from where he was referred to Mulago on Monday morning. Before meeting his death, Kalanzi complained of severe abdominal paid.

    Kalanzi has been a committed driver and for the entire period he has served FUFA, he never at anytime got close to committing an accident on the road. Our National team players usually enjoyed his comfortable drive on top of the jokes he always shared with them.

    We shall all miss his services especially at this time when Cecafa-Tusker Cup is at the door way here in Kampala.

  • Bobby names CECAFA squad this Wednesday

    Cranes Manager Bobby Williamson will name his Cranes squad in the Press conference this Wednesday.

    Cranes head coach Roberts Williamson ‘Bobby’ will name his Cranes squad this Wednesday a head of the 2012 Cecafa-Tusker Cup to be held here in Kampala starting November 24-December 8.

    The Scot tactician who has been working on the list for the last two weeks confirmed to www.fufa.com Tuesday evening that it was now ready for the public. The details will be given during the Federation weekly press conference at FUFA headquarters in Mengo Wednesday morning.The Uganda Cranes are the defending champions after winning the 12th title in Dar es Salaam last year. They defeated neighbors, Rwanda.  A total of ten member countries and one other guest team are expected to start jetting into the country on November 21. Somalia will however arrive earlier on November 9 to camp in Namboole given the political instability at home among other reasons.

    Djibouti is the only member country ruled out of this year’s tournament and their slot is set to be occupied by Malawi, Zimbabwe or Cameroon. Djibouti did not confirm their participation on schedule and this is partly attributed on the FA Presidential elections slated for November 10. The World Football body (FIFA) has confirmed sending its official in Djibouti to oversee the electoral exercise.

    A FIFA commissioner and CAF referees instructor Souleiman Hassan Waberi remains the sole candidate for the Djibouti presidential position. Waberi is also a member of the Cecafa Referees committee. In June this year the country’s football clubs suspended the former president and instead elected Deputy Secretary General Waberi as new president. FIFA however intervened and called for more orderly elections to be conducted in their presence this weekend.

    Cecafa challenge Cup is funded by East African Breweries (EABL) through TUSKER, one of its favourite brands.

  • Former FUFA GS takes current Excom to ordinary Courts of law

    Those opposed to the leadership of President Lawrence Mulindwa have resorted to use of the ordinary Courts of Law to throw him out of office after two failed attempt via well organized elections. The FUFA elections are next year.

    After the withdraw of a court case against the current FUFA Executive by Mbale District delegate Latif Mafuko last week, another similar case has been filed by his co-delegate Zubair Galiwango challenging the legality of the current Executive committee.

    The case is filed in the High Court at Nakawa under the Civil suit No.278. Galiwango who formerly served as an assistant Secretary during the regime of the late Denis Obua (RIP) is represented by WEB Advocates and Solicitors.

    In his case, Galiwango seeks a permanent Injunction order restraining the current FUFA Executive from continued stay in office on allegations that its tern lapsed by a dissolution of the General Assembly. He also wants a permanent Injunction order stopping all the activities of the FUFA Executive, its agents, servants and/or employees forthwith.

    The Mbale delegate is further seeking a Court declaratory order that the FUFA Super League Board headed by Hajji Abbass Kawaase is running its activities illegally.

    The Federation has already dispersed off a team of respectable City lawyers headed by O.H.A Ochieng, Harimwomugasho & Co. Advocates to follow up the case before the Honorable Courts of Law.

  • Out of Afcon 2013 but still focussed

    The continental defending champions, Zambia registered a 9-8 slim spot kick win against Uganda Cranes on October 14 in Kampala after 1-1 draw. FUFA has revealed new strategies to stop such loses.

    Saturday October 13th emerged yet another heart breaking day in Ugandan football history when the country failed to end the long wait into the Africa Cup of Nations finals by narrowly losing 8-9 on spot kicks to Zambia, the continental Champions. It’s now 35 years!

    FUFA wishes to:

    • Thank all the fans who turned up at Namboole to support the Cranes.
    • Applaud our sponsors (MTN, Nile Special and NIC) for all the support.
    • Commend the government for the good will towards the team and the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, ministers MPs and all politicians for gracing the event.
    • Hail the Religious leaders who stood with us in prayers.
    • Thank all media houses for the work well done.

    To the players:

    • Our players offered their best and losing 8-9 on spot kicks after a 1-0 win against the African defending champions in the 90 minutes wasn’t a bad result though we failed to qualify.
    • To Captain Andy Mwesigwa and teammate Patrick Ochan who failed to convert their penalties should not look at this act as a crime. Such scenarios are common among key players. FUFA Still treasures your contributions in this team.
    • Though lost the campaign, the Cranes maintained its winning culture at home in the 90 minutes. We commend you for that.
    Head coach Bobby Williamson

    The Technical bench:

    • Coach Bobby Williamson, his assistants and the entire technical bench, we appreciate your efforts. Thanks so much.

     FUFA commitment:

    We offered all what was required of us in the build up towards this game. These included:

    • Assembling all the players as requested by the head coach.
    • Flying out a team to Zambia for the first leg.
    • Started training earlier than ever before (Sept 19-Oct 12).
    • Organized an international friendly match against Botswana away in Gaborone.
    • Maintained all the 26 players (the biggest squad ever) in camp until the last day.
    • Paid all the players’/officials’ allowances and bonuses on schedule. etc

    Our next focus

    • We shall reward our players/officials with cash prizes for this effort.
    • Evaluate the team’s technical performance for immediate action.
    • Maintain the squad in focus for future field engagements.
    • Identify the team’s weak areas for rectification
    • Consolidate the team’s strength.
    • Arrange more international friendly matches for build ups.
    • Host and defend the Cecafa-Tusker Cup due in Kampala in November.
    •  Prepare the home based team for the CHAN competitions slated for next year.
    • Put up a spirited fight in the remaining matches of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

    Conclusion

    It was all done but God’s response wasn’t in our favour. His choice is no appeal! We therefore have nobody to blame for the country’s another failure to qualify for the Afcon 2013 in South Africa, NOT even ourselves. It was just hard luck!

  • Zambia survives humiliation in Kampala

    African football champions, the Chipolopolo of Zambia survived a humiliating defeat when they registered a slim 9-8 spot kick win over the Uganda Cranes in a return leg of the final round of the Afcon 2013 qualifiers Saturday afternoon here in the Mandela National stadium, Kampala.

    Uganda carried a 1-0 half time lead against the visitors through Geoffrey Massa but the result did not help the home boys end the country’s 35 year long wait. The Chipolopolo had won 1-0 at home in Ndola last month.

    The Algerian referee took the two sides into penalties after the normal time with either side Captains failing to convert their shots.  

    Although continental Champions, Zambia did not look so much impressive compared to Uganda.

  • Zambia, Ivory coast, Malawi & Zimbabwe eye Cecafa

    Musonye Serena Hotel in Kampala during the launch of this year’s Cecafa-Tusker Cup. He has urged teams to start preparations for the region’s biggest annual football event.

    At least five nations including the Africa Cup of Nations defending champions, Zambia have applied to participate in this year’s CECAFA-Tusker Cup to be held in Kampala between November 24 and December 8.

    The other four nations are Cameroon, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Cote D’Ivoire, the 2012 Afcon finalists. Cecafa General Secretary Nicholas Musonye however says, the regional body will have to meet and make a decision on whom to invite. The meeting is expected after the return leg matches of the final round of the Afcon 2013.  Uganda plays Zambia in Namboole on Saturday October 13 after a slim 1-0 loss away in Ndola.

    Malawi and Zimbabwe were the two guest teams last year in Dar es salaam with Zimbabwe falling to Uganda Cranes on a 1-0 result in the semi finals. Malawi was dumped at the quarter final stage. Musonye said the decision to invite guest teams would depend on the vacuum created by member countries.

    Musonye appealed to all member countries to prepare their teams well and take the event seriously since this is the only zone in Africa that organizes competitions regularly.  He at the same time stated clearly that they will not tolerate indiscipline and disorder from members.

    “Our football cannot develop in a noisy and disorderly environment. Any element of sabotage, incitement and defiance will be dealt with appropriately. Our members have the obligation to respect the decision of CECAFA because it is their organization” said Musonye.

    Musonye further reminded members to confirm their participation in writing by October 8.Those who would not have confirmed by that date will not be engaged in drawing of lots and fixtures scheduled for November 8th in Kampala.

    Meanwhile the preparations for the same tournament are progressing well in Uganda. CECAFA, FUFA and EABL through Uganda Breweries are committed to deliver a successful event.

    “With EABL support, we have had two successful events in Tanzania and their commitment to support CECAFA and its members is a huge investment” said Musonye in praise of the sponsors who will invest USD 450.000 in this year’s event alone.

    All matches will be played at Mandela National stadium-Namboole and will be shown Live on Super sport.

  • FUFA President defends Cranes match charges

    FUFA President Lawrence Mulindwa has defended the recently announced charges for the Cranes game against Zambia as being fair given the deductions set to return to government in form of taxes among other costs.

    FUFA President Lawrence Mulindwa consulting his Executive member Rogers Mulindwa and the CEO Edgar Watson during the Press conference on Wednesday. The President pleaded to fans to turn up in big numbers at Namboole stadium on October 13.

    The FA President said he appreciates the concerns from the football fans on the high charges but explained that the actual figure which goes to FUFA after making all the deductions was still small.

    The FUFA Marketing and sponsorship committee on September 20 announced the charges as being UGX 40.000, 75.000 and 120.000 for the ordinary, VIP and the Gold class tickets respectively.

    Mulindwa said 18% (UGX 7200 from each of the 40.000 charged ticket) returns to government coffers in form of Value Added Taxes (VAT). This totals to UGX 288.000.000 if 40.000 fans access the stadium through this ticket category only. Unlike with other national events, the FUFA President further disclosed that UGX 70.000.000 caters for police expenses to guarantee the security of fans and their property.

    He was reacting to questions from journalists during the FUFA weekly press conference at the federation headquarters in Mengo this Wednesday morning. “Namboole stadium wants UGX 3000 charged from each ticket.

    In total, the stadium will take home UGX 135.000.000 out of the proposed 45.000 tickets” the Federation President revealed. CAF, the continental Football body has an entitlement of 4% and FIFA takes 2%. This brings it to 6% which is a representation of UGX 96.000.000 only on the 40.000 charged tickets.

    The costs above total up to UGX 590.000.000 without including other expenses like the return tickets for the professional players, training expenses, professional allowances and ticket printing costs among many others. FUFA also pays for match officials’ tickets, full board accommodation, internal transport and their allowances. During the Cranes match against Congo Brazzaville alone, USD 15500 (About UGX 39m) was spent on match officials from Morocco and Benin.

    The FA President maintained that the federation would not reduce on the charges unless the government intervened on the taxes. “The charges remain so unless the government offers a cost free stadium, police accepts to offer a free service or VAT waived” Mulindwa explained to an attentive audience of journalists.

    Mulindwa finally pleaded to the fans to consider the Cranes match as a fundraising drive and watch the game. He promised ‘fatty’ bonuses to the players in case Uganda advances to the finals in South Africa. Uganda hosts Zambia on 13th October, 2012 in Namboole.

    The FUFA Competitions Committee (FCC) has fulfilled the directive by the FUFA Executive Committee of promoting one club from the Big League to take up the empty slot created by the non compliant Maroons FC in this year’s FUFA Super League.

    FCC Secretary, Decolas Kiiza has this 17th day of September 2012 written to Aurum Roses Football Club to take up the slot. “I have the pleasure to inform you that the FUFA Executive Committee has decided that Aurum Roses Football Club having been the fourth best ranked team in the FUFA Big League 2011/2012 season takes up the slot left by the non compliant Maroons Football Club” reads part of Kiiza’s letter to the club Secretary.

  • SC Villa, Express, Masaka face Disciplinary Action

    Masaka LC Chairperson, Mr. Kalungi (with mic) will have to defend his position before the Disciplinary committee for defying association football rules when he allowed his club to take part in matches not sanctioned by FUFA.

    FUFA has learnt of an act of defiance of the association football rules by three FUFA Super League registered clubs in the names of Express SC, Masaka LC and SC Villa that participated in matches purported to have been played under the National league tier arrangement.

    The Federation wishes to distance itself from this unsporting behaviour and re-affirms its earlier position that the FUFA Super League will kick off officially on Tuesday September 25.

    FUFA therefore recommends that the three clubs (Express SC, Masaka LC and SC Villa) appear before the FUFA Disciplinary Committee on charges of contravening association football rules.  Maroons FC, a fourth team in this fracas has been left out since it never signed our compliance forms and as a result they are not controlled by association football rules.

    If proved guilty, both the club officials and the players (dully registered with FUFA) will face disciplinary action. FUFA will later after consulting the Disciplinary Committee fix the date of appearance.
