The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) Disciplinary Panel has issued several sanctions against clubs following incidents in recent matches in the 2025/2026 season.
Sitting at FUFA House in Mengo on March 12, 2026, the panel delivered rulings involving four matches played in late February and early March, with fines, warnings, and a match forfeiture among the key decisions.
In one of the rulings, Paidha Black Angels SC was fined UGX 500,000 after the visiting team, Kataka FC, experienced difficulties accessing the stadium during their match on February 26.
The panel found the home side in breach of competition rules for failing to ensure smooth access for the visiting team and cautioned the club to comply with FUFA regulations.
Another sanction was issued following incidents of hooliganism during the match between Onduparaka FC and Ntugasaze FC on March 1.
Onduparaka FC was fined UGX 500,000 and warned that any future incidents involving violence, hooliganism, or misconduct could lead to harsher penalties.
The most significant decision came after the match between Calvary FC and SC Villa on March 2 was abandoned due to acts of hooliganism and misconduct by supporters and officials.
The panel ruled that Calvary FC forfeits the match and loses three points, with the result awarded to SC Villa in line with FUFA competitions rules.
Additionally, Calvary FC faces a suspended penalty of a further three-point and three-goal deduction should similar incidents occur again.
FUFA also revealed that matters involving the Calvary FC club president and allegations raised by the club concerning match-fixing and referee misconduct have been referred to the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee for further investigation.
In another ruling, Kitara FC was fined UGX 500,000 after being found guilty of allowing an individual without a valid FUFA bench permit to access the technical area during their match against Entebbe UPPC FC on March 3 at Butema Stadium.
All fines issued by the panel are required to be paid within 14 days. The federation reiterated its call for clubs to uphold discipline and comply with competition regulations to protect the integrity of the game.
