“Busoga loses the match by forfeiture and fined UGX 1M.”
“The CDP took into consideration that Busoga United communicated their failure to turn up for the fixture on the very date that the fixture was supposed to be played.”
“However, the CDP established that besides the letter dated 3.2.2023, Busoga United did not adduce any evidence to prove to the tournament organiser that actually there was a motor vehicle break down. The CDP could not rely on the letter alone without corroborating evidence.”
JLOS joins the 31 teams and progressed to the round of 32 and will know their today Friday 10th-February after the draws that are to be held at the FUFA Complex in Mengo
