The
FUFA Executive Committee has introduced significant amendments to address
hooliganism during football matches.
The
amendments come barely a month since referee Fahad Kayuba was attacked after
officiating the Uganda Premier League match between Express FC and UPDF at the
Bombo Military Barracks. The match ended in a one-all draw.
Reports
indicated that, on his way back to Kampala, Express FC supporters who were
dissatisfied with the results and the officiating, attacked Sekayuba. The
Culprits have since been identified as Noah Mukenya and Sulaiman Zimula.
In response to these incidents, FUFA has revised its competition
rules.
In
line with the amended Section 14 of the FUFA Ethics and Disciplinary Code,
clubs will now bear the consequences of hooliganism of their fans outside the
match venue. Previously, clubs were directly affected only if such acts
occurred at or around the venue.
Meanwhile, according to FUFA Spokesperson Ahmed Hussein, the two fans who allegedly attacked referee Sekayuba have since been paraded at Matugga Magistrate and remanded until Novemvber 28th, 2023.
