The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has unveiled a tentative programme ahead of the visit of FIFA President, Gianni Infatino visit to Uganda this week.

While revealing the programme to the media during the FUFA weekly press conference on Wednesday, Humphrey Mandu, the Deputy FUFA CEO, indicated that the visit will last only two days with several activities scheduled to be covered.

“The FIFA Presidential visit will last only two days and he will have several activities to cover including meeting the  President of the Republic of Uganda,” said Mandu.

Infatino is expected to arrive in Uganda on Friday(6pm) aboard a private jet with a delegation of members from FIFA.

From Entebbe airport, the delegation will head to State house to meet with President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and officials from the Ministry of Education and Sports.

“We believe, the meeting between Fifa and government will help the game of football in Uganda and consequently strengthen our relations with government,” Mandu noted.

The next day (Saturday), the FIFA Boss will have a breakfast meeting with several stakeholders including sponsors, partners and opinion leaders at Kampala Serena Hotel.

From there, Infatino will cross over to Hotel Africana to have a word with Fufa delegates that include district football chairmen, Azam Uganda premier league club chairmen and special interest groups.

The FIFA President will then head to Phillip Omondi stadium to meet ex internationals, current players and FIFA referees (both retired and active) where he will also watch an U17 game between KCCA soccer academy and Lweza Orange Brigade on the same ground at 10am.

According to Mandu, the Fifa Boss will hold a ground breaking ceremony at the Kadiba playground in Mengo where Fufa expect to erect a stadium.

“He will do a ground breaking ceremony at Kadiba, a ground that was given to us by the Church of Uganda and we plan to have a stadium there,” he said.

Infatino will have a tour of the Fufa house headquarters at midday address a press conference later on at Ivy’s Hotel, Wakaliga before departing.

Several issues are expected to be discussed including administration, governance, marketing, communication, football structures among others.

Uganda premier league broadcasters, Azam pay Television have included the Express FC versus Vipers game this weekend in their live schedules.

The league secretariat has confirmed receipt of the request. Initially Azam was set to televise only one game; SC villa versus Sadolin Paints on Sunday.

“The UPL Secretariat is in receipt of communication from Azam Pay TV notifying us that they will televise the Express FC Vs Vipers SC match that will be played on Friday 24th February 2017 at Wankulukuku and SC Villa Vs Sadolin Paints FC match that will be played on Sunday 26th February 2017 at Nakivubo Stadium,” UPL CEO Bernard Bainamani noted.

“These are additional TV matches on top of the ones already indicated on the fixture.”

Concern

Football stakeholders especially the sixteen topflight clubs have been lobbying for more live coverage of the league. The members presented their case during the annual general meeting held mid last year.

Currently, the broadcasters air only one game per match day but the coverage may increase with the secretariat spreading games to Sundays.

Fufa Women Elite League
She Mak 0-7 Ajax Queens

Ajax Queens reclaimed the top of Elgon group in the Fufa Women elite with a comprehensive victory against She Makerere.

The Bulenga based side run riot white washing She Makerere 7-0 at the University ground on Wednesday.

Striker Carol “Museezi” Nakyazi and midfielder Harriet Nakuba each grabbed a hatrick before Maureen Afoyo added the other to complete the riot.

Harriet Nakuba opened the scores as early as the third minute with a screamer about 40 yards from goal to give the visitors an early lead.

Nakyazi doubled the lead in the 21^st minute after defender Sarah Namirimu failed to clear the ball and the latter was swift enough to tap the ball past the on rushing goalkeeper Zainah Nankya.

Nine minutes later, Nakyazi got Ajax Queen’s third tapping home Maureen Afoyo’s cross and the visitors led 3-0 at halftime.

Two minutes after recess, Nakyazi completed his hatrick still with Afoyo turning out the creator.

Harriet Nakuba scored two more goals both from free kicks in the 49th and 75th to also complete his hatrick before Afoyo also got onto the score sheet in the 79th minute.

The result means Ajax Queens reclaim the Victoria group on 16 points same as second placed Uganda Martyrs High school Rubaga but Ajax have a better goal difference (15+) than Martyrs(+10)

Following days of turmoil, Sports Club Villa have officially parted ways head coach Shafik Bisaso on Thursday.

SC Villa President, Engineer Immanuel Ben Misagga confirmed to ChimpSport that head coach, Bisaso together with his assistant Charles Ssekweyama have left the club after a mutual agreement.

“It is true, we have ended our relationship with Bisaso and Ssekyewama as coaches of Sports club Villa,” Misagga said in a phone interview.

According to Misagga, Bisaso didn’t have a contract with SC Villa but rather an understanding with the club and thus there was no contract terminated.

“We didn’t have a contract with him but he worked on a relationship basis,” he revealed.

Misagga also confirmed that associate coach Wasswa Bossa will take on the mantle as acting head coach with the help of Phillip Sozzi as the search for a new coach goes on.

“We have parted ways with head coach Bisaso, we thank him for the good time we have been together, we wish him all the best. Bossa Waswa and Philip Sozzi will act in his position.” Intimated the SC Villa President.

The writing was on the wall that Bisaso was headed for exit following poor results since the start of the second round.

Bisaso had failed to register a win in three league games (all ending in draws, 0-0 vs Bright stars, 1-1 vs JMC Hippos and 2-2 Lweza) including exiting the Uganda cup.

The former Proline and Fire masters coach joined SC Villa on June 29th 2016 first as assistant to then head coach Deo Sserwadda before assuming the head coach position two months later.

Kenya football association, FKF, has reported that Fifa has opened disciplinary measures for the country for taking part in the 2015 CECAFA senior challenge cup which was reportedly not sanctioned by Caf and Fifa. The federation confirmed through a press statement on Thursday afternoon.

According to a letter from Fifa to FKF, the world governing body has termed the move (to play Cecafa), “a violation of key FIFA’s statutes”.

Uganda Cranes won their 13th title in the tournament that was held in Ethiopia from November 21st to December 5th. Rwanda, Ethiopia and Sudan finished in the remaining best four places. Twelve nations took part.

“The world football governing body has disclosed that its Disciplinary Committee that is scheduled to meet on March 15, 2017 will analyze the matter with regard to a possible violation of regulations and decide on a possible imposition of sanctions against the Kenyan FA,” part of the statement on FIFA later reads as quoted by FKF.

Efforts to confirm whether Uganda (Fufa), who were the tournament favorites, has received were futile by press time since the FA spokesman Ahmed Hussein phones were busy.

Express FC will usher vipers SC back into the local scene with an epic encounter at Wankulukuku stadium on Friday afternoon. The Uganda Cup holders return after a successful continental outing where they progressed to the first round of the Caf confederation’s cup.

The first leg clash ended with the Red Eagles claiming all the three points through Derrick Tekko’s strike from Saddam Juma’s magic.

The two sides have met 24 times in history, the Kitende outfit winning ten and seven ended in draws.

“Very big game as far as we are concerned we don’t want to be ashamed at home being that we are playing Vipers,” Express FC Coach Matia Lule says.

Express FC will miss the services of Nigerian import Victor Onyebuchi and Noah Semakula.

Striker Tony Odur has played for both sides and is the top scorer in this fixture with nine goals; three for Express FC and six for his current club Vipers SC.

Coach Richard Waswa has a strong squad to pick from with Siraji Ssentamu and Mike Sserumaga all returning to the team after shaking off injuries.

A win will push Vipers to third place at least until Onduparaka play tomorrow.

Uganda Premier League
Express 0-0 Vipers

Express football club and Vipers SC played to a goalless draw in the Azam Uganda Premier League game played on Friday evening at Muteesa II stadium, Wankulukuku.

Both teams came into the game with an aim of making amends but eventually looked blunt on the day failing to get the spark.

Despite starting the better side in the opening minutes, Express’ failure to create chances in the final third cost them as the visitors grew in confidence moments later but were also blunt going forward.

Brian Kakaire had a chance to break the deadlock in the 21^st minute but his effort sailed way above the goal area.

Milton Kalisa also had a chance midway through the opening half but squandered it wide and the two sides returned to the dressing rooms with no shot on target registered.

Vipers opted for the first change of the game, three minutes after recess with Mike Sserumaga paving way for Keziron Kizito.

Moments later, Brian Kakaire was withdrawn for energetic forward Alfred Leku but still the changes failed to yield any dividends.

With 20 minutes to play, Kalisa got the best chance to put Vipers ahead but his attempt to dribble past onrushing goalkeeper Emmanuel Opio ended futile hitting the ball between the goalkeeper’s legs.

Yayo Lutimba got Express’ best chance of the game  from a free kick but sailed a few inches above the cross bar.

The result means Vipers remain fourth on the table with 28 points in 17 games while Express also remain 8th on 24 points same as URA, Soana and Bright stars who are in 5th,6th and 7th position respectively.

Nelson Senkatuka’s strike at the death of first half gave Proline FC a much needed victory over URA FC in a Uganda Premier League match played on Friday afternoon at the Mehta stadium in Lugazi.

With the tie heading to a barren halftime, Gift Ali picked a ball outside Proline box and sprint through to URA’s box while maneuvering through the yellow barricades on the way. The midfielder passed over to Dan Isiagi whose first time pass met Senkatuuka at the right place in the right time.

Coach Kisala was forced to boost his attacking power bank, introducing Kigongo and Feni Ali just after the break for Kyeyune and Kigongo respectively.

The change almost yielded five minutes later. Harry Gentle intercepted Sam Kintu’s pass, crossed over to Lule who in turn set up Feni inside the box but his stinging shot ended on the side net.

Mujib later on withdrew Isiagi for Simon Mbazira to solidify the packed midfield. Proline henceforth forged all ways to kill URA FC’s hopes with several stoppages forcing the referee to run the game up to 103 minutes.

URA FC remain 7th on the log while Proline shoot to 10th.

Uganda Premier League
Police 2-1 Soana

Police continued their impressive run since the start of the second round with yet another win against Soana on Friday.

Abdallah Mubiru the new coach at Police maintained his perfect start winning his third league game in charge with a 2-1 victory against Soana at Kavumba recreational ground.

Skipper Ben Ochen and Rahmat Ssenfuka scored for the cops while Francis Olaki’s strike for Soana settled for a consolation.

Returning to a ground that was their home ground, before shifting to Nakivubo stadium for the first time, Police seemed the better side.

Ben Ochen converted from the spot kick in the 24th minute to give Police the lead after Yasin Mugume had been fouled in the box by Siraje Turyamuhebwa.

Five minutes to the break, Soana leveled matters through Francis Olaki who tapped home Baker Lukooya’s cross for the equaliser.

Police however surged up in the second half and former Proline midfielder Rahmat Ssenfuka helped the cops to regain their lead.

Ssenfuka picked a loose ball outside the box (about 25 yards) before pouncing it with full energy to go straight into the back of the net.

Soana made several attempts to level matters once again but the visitors remained resilient and held onto the score until the final whistle.

Police remain 9th on table on 23 points while Soana who are yet to win any league game under new coach George Lutalo remain 6th on 24 points.

Uganda Premier League
KCCA vs Onduparaka
Phillip Omondi stadium 4pm

After eliminating Angola’s CD Primeiro de Agosto in the CAF champions league last week, KCCA FC shift focus to the league.

They resume league action against Onduparaka this Saturday at the Phillip Omondi stadium in an epic showdown.

KCCA FC assistant manager Morley Byekwaso, already put it straight that they will be seeking for revenge for the first leg loss in Arua where Onduparaka won 2-1.

“We respect Onduparaka, they are a good team and have a big following but we are ready to take them on and revenge for the game we lost to them in Arua,” he said.

Byekwaso believes the team has fully recovered from fatigue of the champions league and now the focus is now on making sure they maintain their stay at the top.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Ochan, the KCCA FC first choice goalkeeper believes the perfect home record at this season will help them overcome Onduparaka.

“It will not be an easy game, they have a good team with talented players but we are motivated by the fact that we haven’t lost a game at home this season,” said Ochan.

On the other hand, Leo Ardra is confident they have a team that can hurt KCCA FC.

“The fact that we managed to beat them in the first leg, we have all it takes to get another win on Saturday,” he said.

About failing to play well at the astro turf, Ardra indicated they have analysed how best they can come up with a perfect solution.

“We lost to Proline on this very ground but I think we have come up with a strategy of how best we can play,” Ardra added.

FIFA president Giann Infantino on Friday evening started his 2 day visit to Uganda with a meeting with President Yoweri Museveni at State House in Entebbe.

Infantino was escorted by FUFA president Moses Magogo and other officials from the local football governing body.

At Entebbe, Museveni told his visitor that it was an honor having him come to the East African country.

“I don’t watch football that much, I prefer athletics,” Museveni joked as he spoke to the World football governing body president.

“It is good for me because they run and finish quickly. I used to follow football up to 1970 then I went to do some other work.”

Infantino is the first Fifa President to visit Uganda

Museveni however asked his visitor for support to the Ugandan government in a bid to help in sports development in the country.

“I urge FIFA to support our government to improve and repair stadiums so as to nurture sports talents,”Museveni asked.

In response, Infantino applauded government for the sport needed in the development of the beautiful game of football in the country.

“We can do sports development together, “Infantino noted.

Infantino is the first FIFA President to visit Uganda since the inception of the world football governing body 118 years ago.

Uganda Premier League
KCCA FC 7-0 Onduparaka

Youngster Allan Okello had a dream debut as KCCA FC thumped Onduparaka 7-0 in the Uganda premier league game played at Phillip Omondi stadium on Saturday.

Okello dictated the tempo of play bagging the first hatrick of the season and also assisted on one occasion as Robert Ssentongo (brace), Geoffrey Sserunkuma and Paul Musamali also got onto the score sheet.

The 17 year old opened the scores in the 10th minute in what turned out to be a total humiliation for the visitors.

Onduparaka players failed to clear Muzamir Mutyaba’s delivery from a free kick and Okello pounced onto the loose ball on the far end to give KCCA FC the lead.

Eight minutes later, diminutive striker Robert Ssentongo who started in place of injured Derrick Nsibambi doubled the lead after running behind the defence to lobe over the onrushing goalkeeper. Okello made the assist for the goal.

It turned out to be a walk in the park for the home side with Paul Musamali heading home Mutyaba’s cross from a corner in the 22nd minute before Allan Okello got onto the score sheet yet again in the 35th minute and KCCA FC returned to the tunnel for the mandatory break leading 4-0.

Despite making changes to stop the damage, Onduparaka failed to deal with KCCA who were perfect on the day.

As KCCA FC and Onduparaka FC clashed on the pitch at the Philip Omondi  stadium on Saturday in the Uganda Premier League, their supporters too, were engaged in another off the pitch battle.

The Caterpillar fans failed to contend the result as early as the first goal, in the 11th minute scored by a 17 years old debutant. The fans pelted every available object to any direction. Those in VIP were not spared the ugly farce though it was short-lived.

The situation erupted again towards the end when home fans skipped their zone with excitement to provoke the already cabbed fans. And the result was just as expected- a bedlam!

Centre referee was forced to stop the game for some minutes for sanity to prevail.

SC Villa vs Sadolin Paints
Nakivubo stadium 4pm

Sports Club Villa begin life without Shafik Bisaso with a home fixture against wobbling Sadolin Paints this Sunday at Nakivubo stadium.

Bisaso became the latest subject of Misagga’s time- honored tradition of sacking managers when he was shown the exit on Thursday.

And now under the stewardship of unpopular coach Wasswa Bossa, SC Villa will be seeking to return to winning ways against the limping Painters.

The Jogoos have struggled since the start of the year failing to win any competitive game including bowing out of the Uganda cup against lowly Kiboga Young at the round of 64.

Bossa will be seeking to make amends with victory today to calm the waving storm at Villa park where fans are calling for his head.

Equally on the other hand, Sadolin have failed to win a game since the start of the second round losing to Police and Kirinya Jinja SS.

The painters now find themselves in the relegation zone, sitting just a point above the drop zone.

Forward Emmanuel Okwi who limped off in the game against Lweza has recovered in time and is expected to lead the line with Alex Kitata.

Umar Kasumba is still doubtful while Henry Katongole is still serving his suspension for the red card he got in the game against JMC Hippos a fortnight ago.

SC Villa are second on the table with 34 points, four behind leaders KCCA while Sadolin Paints languish in 13th position with a meager 17 points.

“Equally, my teammates are friendly to me and that has helped me to settle in the team easily,” he added.

Okello was in scintillating form on his debut for KCCA FC

Okello became the first player to score a hatrick in the Uganda Premier League this season. He got his first goal just after 10 minutes tapping home from Mutyaba Muzamir’s free kick.

Uganda Premier League
SC Villa 1-0 Sadolin Paints

Emmanuel Okwi scored the lone goal as Sports Club Villa edged past Sadolin Paints at Nakivubo stadium on Sunday.

Okwi struck his third goal in 4 games since returning to SC Villa in January and it eventually turned out the decider as the Jogoos returned winning ways after three games.

With Wasswa Bossa starting his reign as the new coach at SC Villa, he made three changes to the team that drew 2-2 against Lweza with Paul Mbowa, John Adriko and Abbey Eturude starting ahead of  Joseph Nsubu, Farouk Musisi Kizito and Alex Kitata respectively.

Villa started the better side and could have scored as early as the 6th minute but veteran defender Ronald Lukungu made a timely interception to block Emma Okwi.

Abel Eturude wasted another chance in the 18th minute blasting wide after Mike Ndera had set him up inside the box.

It was Okwi who broke the deadlock 5 minutes later with a well taken free kick that went beyond goalkeeper Baker Yunus’ reach.

Despite going a goal down, Sadolin Paints grew in confidence and matched Villa for the remaining part of the game.

Muzamir Nassar had a chance to level matters with five minutes to halftime but shot direct at goalkeeper Samson Kirya.

The visitors made several attempts in the second half introducing Fred Kyambadde and Basan Saf upfront to look for goals but the supply was always limited and Villa held on to claim victory.

The result means SC Villa remain in second position on 37 points, one behind leaders KCCA but the latter have two games in hand.

Sadolin continue to languish in the drop zone grounded in 13th position on 17 points.

Mbarara City FC laid a claim in the race for promotion at the end of the Fufa Big League season after thumping Rwenzori table leaders Masavu FC 4-0 in Mbarara on Saturday.

Brian Ahebwa sealed a hat trick and an additional goal from Bebe Segujja pulled the Mbarara side to seven points below the leaders with two games left at hand.

Masavu went into the game with 37 points looking to expand the gap with Nyamityobora to a double figure but instead Mbarara City skipped to second spot.

In the other second division game played, Herbert Billy Alinda struck to ensure Airtel Kitara pick a vital point away to Kireka United FC at the Mandela stadium outside pitch.

Uganda Revenue Authority FC has terminated their contract with head coach Kefa Kisala, ChimpSport has learnt.

A source inside the team had hinted to this website that the coach’s job was on the line earlier last week.

“Yes it’s true the coach has been relieved off his duties as agreed by top management,” URA FC CEO Kulubya told ChimpSport.

“Coach Odoch will take over the role for the remaining matches until we get another head coach.”

Ibrahim Kirya is highly rumored to be in negotiations with the tax collectors.

Kisala guided the team to progress to the last sixteen in the Uganda Cup on Tuesday last week defeating another crisis-hit BUL FC by a slim 1-0 goal advantage.

The tax collectors fell to Proline FC in a home league game in Lugazi on Friday afternoon with a similar margin and after, several top guns in the team gathered at the pitch for a ’round talk’.

Kefa Kisala joined URA FC in November 2015, taking over from Moses Basena. He leaves the team on the seventh position with 24 points after 18 games.
