Proline's Mujib Kasule wants Top Spot Seat At FUFA

Proline FC Director Mujib Kasule declares his aspirations to run for the top seat at the football governing body of Uganda.

The announcement was made on Tuesday at McKinnon Suites in Nakasero and it comes after incumbent Moses Magogo also announced his desire to return to this position.

“I announce that I will stand for FUFA Presidency in the coming elections. I am going to participate in this political football season, I have offered myself to lead the struggle to reclaim the glory of our game,” said Mujib Kasule.

“I think we need a reset, we need to reorganise the game. It needs systems and structures such that individuals don’t come back and deprive us of this beautiful game called football,” Mujib Kasule added.

Jiba as he is known to many proposed to invest 2.5 billion into the Uganda Premier League should he be elected with clubs receiving 100 million as initial startup capital. He also proposed to send six coaches to study in Europe.

Shafi Kagimu’s second-half goal makes KCCA FC’s title dreams sink even more as the former drift 9 points clear.

Second-half goals from speed merchant Joachim Ojera and Shafi Kagimu Kuchi saw URA FC complete a season double against KCCA FC.

League top performer Desse Mukwala fired warning shots in the first 10 minutes as URA FC was all looking for an early goal but couldn’t find the net as Charles Lukwago denied him chances.

As there were no goals to show in the first half, interim coach Morley Bwekwaso brought in attack-minded young stars Charles Lwanga and Hassan Musana for Samuel Senyonjo and Ashraf Mugume respectively.

Coach Sam Ssimbwa substituted Cromwell Rwothomio for tired-looking Ibrahim Dada. Rwothomio assisted Ojera’s goal in the 53rd minute. A superb Rwothomio cross found Ojera as he headed home.

And at St Mary’s Kitende, Vipers SC punished Busoga United FC in a 4 goal galore. Yunus Ssentamu got two, Aziz Kayondo and Milton Marisa added one each in a one-sided game.

It was all a tough one for inconsistent Busoga United FC for a club that has not lost any points at home this season.

However, Vipers SC saw a red card for shot-stopper Fabien Mutombora after punching teammate Aziz Kayondo.

After the final whistle, the shot-stopper rushed to Aziz and seriously punched him for reasons not yet known by club officials. But throughout the game, Fabien had been exchanging words with the attacking left full-back Aziz for most of the time.

Sources say Shaban and Bashir Asiku are serving internal club bans for indiscipline that’s why they don’t make matchday squads.
