    Sam Ssimbwa handed 8 month ban

    The Adjudicatory Chamber of the FUFA Ethics and Integrity Committee chaired by Mr Byansi William has banned Mr Bamweyana Sam Ssimbwa -former KCCA FC coach from all football related activities (administrative, sports or any other) for 8 months for possible violation of FUFA Regulations when he conducted himself in an unethical manner and uttered statements that jeopardised the authenticity of results and integrity of matches.

    The ban comes into force immediately.

    Mr. Simbwa will serve eight months but the Committee has considered the 88 days he has spent on provisional suspension by KCCA FC club, have been deducted from the main ban.
    The investigation against Mr. Ssimbwa was conducted by the FUFA Investigatory chamber of the Ethics and Integrity Committee, following allegations of potential misconduct related to utterance of statements that had the consequence of jeopardising the integrity of matches.

    The Committee found out that the standards required from a senior coach like Sam Simbwa is higher than what he portrayed when he uttered statements relating to his ability to bribe match officials in order to get results.

    Mr. Ssimbwa has 10 days to apply for the full reasoned judgment passed by the Committee.

    The Azam Uganda Premier league returns on Friday with two fixtures.

    Jinja Municipal Council Hippos is at home (Kakindu stadium in Jinja) against crowd darling Lweza in the game live on Azam T.V.

    The Hippos will look to the magic of Walter Bankene and skipper Richard Wandyaka upfront against a rather solid backline well marshaled by returning captain, Ibrahim Kiyemba after an injury lay off.

    Lweza’s potent weapon is the midfield of Paddy Muhumuza who has been a loyal servant since the January transfer window as he feeds off veteran striker, Geofrey Sserunkuma and Moses Ndawula.

    The other fixture on the day will witness The Saints entertaining URA at Nelson Mandela National stadium, Namboole – a fixture that will see Moses Basena, now at The Saints facing a team he once coached.

    “There is no pressure whatsoever to face a side you once coached. I predict a good game though” Basena, who is  also Uganda Cranes assistant coach told www.fufa.co.ug.

    The Saints is one desperate club ready to fight the relegation monster and were on the losing side in the last fixture against Lweza at Wankulukuku on Tuesday.

    URA F.C on the other side won narrowly 3-2 in the last league engagement.

    For one obvious reason, The Saints backline has to be prepared how what mechanism to lay and tame the league sharp shooter, Robert Sentongo (with 15 goals to his name).

    Sentongo aside, URA also has Uganda Cranes forward Frank Kalanda whose goal poaching instincts and positional sense is enviable.

    Sentongo and Kalanda are well assured of a steady supply of balls from midfielders Elukanah Nkugwa, Saidi Kyeyune and the ever lively Feni Moses Ali.

    The Saints have Owen Kasule’s experience to start with on top of Yasin Mugume’s creativity that will give lead forward Alex ‘Benzema’ Kitata the impetus to seek that much needed goal.

    Enjoy the matches.

    Azam Uganda Premier League: Vipers host SC Villa in Buikwe

    Azam Uganda Premier League 2015/16:

    • Vipers Vs SC Villa – Friday, 1st April 2016
    • At Buikwe Stadium, Mukono (4:00 P.M)
    • Live on 102.1 FUFA f.m & Azam T.V

     

    In the only Azam Uganda premier league match to be played on the opening day of April 2016, Sports Club Villa travels to Buikwe to play the reigning champions, Vipers S.C.

    The Jogoos have not played so many fixtures of the league in the second round because of their active engagement in the CAF Confederation Cup.

    Against Vipers, the match looks as epic on paper as the reality as the two clubs have a rich background and healthy rivalry.

    Key actors:

    Vipers will look to the solid performances of either James Alitho or Ismail Watenge in goal, Deus Bukenya, Nicholas Wadada, the returning Dan Bilikwarila, Pius Wanji, Mike Mutyaba and Uganda Cranes’ striker, Erisa Ssekisambu for inspiration.

    Coach George Nsiimbe will miss two players, defender Halid Lwaliirwa and striker Alfred Leku who left with the Uganda U-17 team on Thursday night.

    SC Villa on the other hand will miss only Martin Kizza but they have a wide range of selection from a pool of players available.

    Goalkeeper Nicholas Sebwato has been on form since returning from a brief stint with Tanzanian club, Coastal Union.

    In Isaac Muleme, Misi Katende and skipper Jonathan Mugabi, the Jogoos are assured of an experienced backline ready to thwart Vipers’ usually deadly attacking strategy.

    Tadeo Lwanga, Ambrose Kirya and Able Eturide are crucial players in the middle of the pack for SC Villa while goal scoring responsibilities are embedded on the shoulders of Umar Kasumba, Mike Sserumaga (if available) and Karim Ndugwa.

    The match will be handled by FIFA referees with Mashood Ssali in the center.
