  • CECAFA: URA humbles Simba with 2-0 win

    Simba 0 URA 2

    AS Vita 7 Ports 0

    Azam 1 Mafunzo 1

    Hamis Kiiza in action against Atletico Olympic FC

    URA’s Feni Ali took advantage of one chance in the 11th minute and headed home a crucial first half goal against Simba SC before netting a second one in the added minutes of the second half to force the Tanzanian champions into a 2-0 loss.

    The two teams were playing their first game in group ‘A’ of the Cecafa-Kagame Club Championship going on here in Dar es salaam City. Simba who played in last year’s finals against Young Africans started off the game with very brilliant runs and well coordinated passes but all their efforts yielded no results throughout the 90 minutes.

    The Uganda Hippos player jumped high just outside the box to head in the first goal that still left the Simba fans roaring hoping to equalize and perhaps win the game later. The roaring of the Lions however, only remained good news for the tax boys as they took control of the second half with good ball possession.

    Cranes defender and Club Captain Simeon Masaba took a well calculated run on the right flank and crossed the ball past the defenders to find a well positioned Feni Ali who headed into an empty net. Simba goalkeeper Juma Kaseja had run to the extreme side of the opposite goal post.

    This was the second loss for the home team after defending champions Young Africans lost on a similar margin to Atletico Olympics FC, a surprise team from Burundi. Like Simba, Young Africans also conceded the second goal in the injury time.

    Simba played with Cranes midfielder Musa Mude but the biggest news was Derrick Walulya, formerly with the day’s opponents who left many local fans here amazed with his performance. The Serbian Coach Milovan Cirlovic said he was surprised with Walulya’s performance. “We played a better side and Walulya had a good game”, he confessed.

    Alex Isabirye on his side looked relieved of the pressure he seemingly carried since arriving in Dar es salaam. “We played well and deserved this win. Our first target was to cool down the game that had started at a high tempo and we succeeded” said the former Cranes player.

    The 2-0 result did not however move the Tanzanian fans who still have chances to qualify from the group stages but was only a good news that the two country’s league giants had both lost the opening matches and on the same goal difference.  URA returns to action on Wednesday against AS Vita Club who routed Djibouti’s Ports FC 7-0 at Chamanzi stadium.

  • Express are Uganda League Champions

    Coach Sam Simbwa guided Express FC to a League Title after 16 years

    Outspoken coach, Sam Simbwa, led his club, Express, to the Uganda Super League title on Sunday, after a 2-1 victory over Bidco at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Namboole.

    On a final day when three teams had a chance for the crown, Express finished on 54 points. Bunamwaya finished on 53 points after a 1-0 win over defending champions URA [51] who needed victory while hoping Express would lose to Bidco.

    It was Express’s first league title in 16 years and Simbwa was commended for raising the team from mediocre status at the beginning of the season to a formidable side.

    Simbwa coached the then Kenyan Premier League champions, Sofapaka of Nairobi, in the first half of the 2010 season.

    Cash-strapped Express were seen as hopeless against endowed teams such as URA, funded by the country’s tax collection agency, Uganda Revenue Authority.

     

     

     

     

     

  • FUFA wins SOS Court Appeal

    Federation President Lawrence Mulindwa's has continued to trounce and register more court wins against the negative forces opposed to his leadership

    Lady Justice Jane Kigundu of the Criminal Division of the High Court in Kampala on Thursday 24th May 2012 dismissed the criminal revision appeal lodged by SOS.

    SOS, lead by Denis Mbidde and his colleagues in the background were challenging the ruling of the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate Sylivia Nabaggala who acquitted and freed the FUFA President Lawrence Mulindwa, the Chief Executive Officer Edgar Watson and the Chairman of the Federation Legal Committee Muhammed Bazirengende of criminal charges related to the alleged forgery of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) constitution.

    The High Court held that the application for review lodged in the High Court challenging part of the proceedings of the Chief Magistrate was prematurely brought before the High Court. Lady Justice Kigundu explained that the revision orders of the High Court are made in respect to final orders and judgments of Court and not interlocutory orders. .

    The learned Justice further held that the Chief Magistrate was right in dismissing the private criminal prosecution brought by Dennis Mbidde (SOS) because it was premised on an incurably defective affidavit and charge sheet which could have caused injustice to the accused if they were forced to take plea on a defective affidavit and charge sheet.

    The high court thus upheld the ruling of the Buganda Road court Chief Magistrate and dismissed the application for review lodged by the so called Save Our Soccer selfish group.
    FUFA was represented by Counsel Ochieng Evans and Luganda Alex while SOS had Mulema Mukasa and David Ssempala. FUFA has not lost any single Court case since the year begun and this is the third victory for the federation since January.

  • CAF Warns URA against more ‘boycotts’

    FUFA CEO Edgar Watson with CAF General Secretary Mr. Hisham shortly after their meeting in Budapest, Hungary

    The Confederation of African Football (CAF), a continental African football body has described URA’s exonerations from possible sanctions over their failure to play a return leg against Djoliba FC of Mali in the Orange Club Champions League as a ‘very rare incident’.

    CAF has termed URA FC as having been very lucky and hailed FUFA president Lawrence Mulindwa for the convincing defense he put up during the Inter Club organizing committee meeting held in Cairo on May 15 which CAF says, ‘converted many members to reverse the earlier proposed sanctions’.

    The comments were made by the CAF General Secretary Mr. Hisham during a meeting with the FUFA CEO, Edgar Watson in Budapest City, Hungary this Friday morning. Edgar thanked Hisham for accepting to reverse the decisions that left URA a club free from any punishments.

    URA FC which had lost 2-0 to visitors in Kampala did not travel for the return leg following the waves of insecurity in Mali. Both Ecowas and the Ugandan Government warned URA against flying into Mali despite the host’s continued emphasis that the ‘country was secure’. URA was headed for a three year ban from all CAF organized competitions, paying a fine of U$ 1500 and meeting the estimated costs Djoliba FC would have raised from the home match as gate collections

    Hisham warned URA against such incidents in future adding that a club walking off unpunished when fails to honour an engagement were very rare incidents in CAF.

  • FUFA Excom, Assembly to reduce in size

    FUFA President Lawrence Mulindwa is determined to transform Ugandan football administration

    On Friday 18th May 2012, the FUFA Executive Committee convened, discussed and passed reforms that will lead to fundamental amendments within the FUFA Constitution.

    Of recent a lot of human, time and financial resources have been directed at non-football developmental activities by different stakeholders. In order to direct the ship, the FUFA Executive Committee in consultation with FIFA resolved to undertake major reforms in the way FUFA and its members are managed. The proposed reforms include among others the following;

    1. The General Assembly

    • The District Football Associations are to be replaced by the 8 FUFA Regional Football Associations as direct members of FUFA
    • District Football Associations will become members of the FUFA Regional Football Associations
    • Each of the 16 FUFA Super League clubs (Not USLL) to become a direct Member of the FUFA General Assembly
    • The FUFA Big and the Regional League clubs to be represented in the General Assembly
    • Only 6 Special interest associations to be retained.
    • The size of the General Assembly will be reduced by more than a half of the current size.
    FUFA president and some of his executive members. His cabinet will reduce by nearly a half under new proposed ammendments

    Reducing the size of the assembly will provide a balanced platform for the decisions of the Assembly inclusive of elections of the FUFA president and create an assembly which is not elastic with the creation and addition of new District Football Associations. The new development will also ensure an environment that gives quality debate and better facilitation on top of better supervision of the FUFA Excom. The proposed new arrangements will further empower the regions with more decentralized football development responsibilities.

    2. Executive Committee

    It is further intended that the FUFA Executive Committee be reduced from the current 21 members to 13 inclusive of the President, 3 Vice Presidents and 9 members. Specialized Vice Presidents will no longer exist as their work will be taken over by professional and full-time employees at the federation.

    Prior to the realization of this great dream, the FUFA Executive committee will approve each of the respective member constitution and mandatory clauses will be required to be included.

    The FUFA Executive committee will table the proposed amendments to the General Assembly for debate and adoption into a new constitution.

    Some of the provisions will be required to be of immediate effect before the new season begins while others will become effective at the expiry of the term of the current FUFA Excom.

    In conclusion, the FUFA Executive committee is aware of the challenges to complete these reforms and the individual benefits of the current system but we have voted to redirect the currently wasted energies and resources into football.

    FUFA has hailed the people of Gulu and Northern Region in general for honouring the Bell-Uganda Cup finals played in Pece stadium, Gulu Municipality last Saturday.

    Speaking to journalists this Monday, FUFA Vice President in charge of Competitions, Isa Magoola said the federation had registered a huge achievement in taking this final to an upcountry stadium. “The game illustrated a realistic inside story that FUFA relates well with its fans within and outside Kampala city” he said.

    The Vice President also added, “We shall continue with the same arrangement next season”. Magoola was optimistic that the standards would continue improving year after year.

    Commenting about the number of spectators that showed up at Pece stadium, Magoola revealed that the match had grossed UG Shs.4.180.000. “About 50 fans purchased VIP tickets at Shs20.000, a sign that northern region is a fertile ground for soccer development”, the Vice President further revealed.

    Northern region chairperson, Calvin Okello said this was the highest amount collected from gate charges in Pece’s recent history. The closest to this was Shs.2.8m raised during the Super League match when Gulu United hosted KCC in 1999. The home boys lost 1-0.

    URA lifted this year’s Bell-Uganda Cup after edging Bunamwaya 1-0 and walked off with Shs.12.5 cash prize courtesy of East African Breweries Limited (EABL). The sponsors also rewarded Bunamwaya with Shs.4.5m

  • Isabirye’s URA storms Bell Finals

    Friday: Masaka 0 URA 1

    Isabirye 1
    Isabirye 2
    Isabirye 4

    For the second consecutive season, URA head coach Alex Isabirye has guided his club to the finals of the Bell-Uganda Cup.

  • Kisumu U20 friendly called off

    FUFA Finance Vice President Anthony Kimuli and Ogwel Patrick (VP Youth) sharing a joyful moment with U20 head coach Paul Nkata and his assistant Abdalllah Mubiru before Uganda walloped Mozambique 4-0 @befoi
    FUFA vice president in charge Finance Mr. Anthony Kimuli and his colleague Patrick Ogwel (Youth) share a moment of joy with U20 Head coach Paul Nkata and his assistant Abdallah Mubiru last week before Uganda Hippos walloped Mozambique 4-0. The return leg has now been fixed for May 5 in Maputo

    Please note that the earlier planned friendly match for our U20 National team against Nyanza Province in Kisumu has been called of.

    Reasons:

    (i) The match was encroaching on the time frame allocated to USL to have the Bell Super League matches end on schedule. Travelling to Kisumu would have led to an extension of some league matches especially those involving clubs like Proline, Express, SC. Villa, URA and Maroons.

    (ii) The duration between the proposed match days in Kisumu (April 28 and 29) and the Mozambique return leg date was too small. The Mozambique game has been confirmed for May 5.

    (iii) The latest communication coming in from Mozambique has pointed towards having our return leg played on an artificial turf at Chibuto stadium, North of Maputo City. This has compelled us to shift camp to Njeru Technical centre for an intensified training which will also give our players a good exposure of playing on an artificial turf. The players leave for Njeru on Sunday.

    We regret any inconveniences caused to our stakeholders but the changes are intended to ensure that the Hippos pick up good results from Maputo.

  • Sadolin FC player shot dead

He also injured two other friends”, Opio explained.

    FUFA President Lawrence Mulindwa has this Monday morning sent a condolence message to the deceased’s family, Sadolin Football Club and the entire football fraternity in Uganda. “I am shocked to learn that the incident I watched on one of the local television bulletin a night ago, involved our own player who was shot dead by a gun man”. Reads part of Mulindwa’s condolence message.

    The Ugandan FA President has described the deceased as having been ‘a talented Goal Keeper’ but regretted that his life had been lost in ‘un clear circumstances’. “It’s my hope that the security agencies exhaustively investigate this matter and punish the culprit in a deserved manner” Mulindwa said.

    Ddamba will be laid to rest at Kalungu-Lukaya this Monday, 4:00pm. He has been a player for Sadolin FC since 2007 and he was instrumental in guiding the club to the Regional league where it stands in the 4th position on the table. The deceased featured for his club last Wednesday as they edged Bright Stars FC 2-0 at Lugogo and this was his last game before meeting his death on Saturday afternoon. Preliminary details indicate that he survives with a widow and three children.

    May His Soul Rest in Eternal Peace.

    Uganda U20 National team, the Hippos out smarted visiting counterparts from Mozambique walloping them 4-0 in the first leg of the Africa U20 youth championship played in Kampala on Saturday.

    Yayo Lutimba (Express FC) scored the fastest goal in his football career that came only 30 seconds after kick off to send the youthful home boys into wild celebrations. Ssekisambu Erisa who also features for Express FC netted twice before William Wadri (Proline FC) sealed the deal nine minutes to break time.

    Mozambique looked disunited throughout the first half but the Germany coach Angels Gert Josef seem to have taken note of their mistakes, corrected them and his side returned to pitch a better side for the second half.  The last 45 minutes yielded no goal for either side.

    “We needed a win and we have it. We shall base our next plans from there” said a visibly excited assistant coach Abdallah Mubiru shortly after the game.  Uganda travels to Mozambique in two weeks time and when they advance to the next round, they play Ghana.

    For the Mozambican coach, Angels Gert, Ugandans should not celebrate yet. He has promised a tougher game in Maputo. “It’s a big loss but such results can still be reversed. Uganda has been a better side at home and we can still be better in Maputo” vowed Gert.
