After intense months of preparations for the clubs, FUFA competitions department kept many Big league club owners guessing on which particular date the league would kick off.
A few clubs had failed to secure playing licences accruing from failure to satisfy the competitions committee of palatable conditions set as assurance of up to standard playing fields (with all green surface, internal perimeter fencing and dressing rooms) among others.
Now that the fixtures were finally released; the kick off date has been set – 17th October 2019.
According to sources at FUFA, the released fixture is just a draft but the official kick off date is Thursday 17th October and the official fixture will be out within this week.
According to the draft fixture, Bukedea based side, Bukedea Town Council FC start off the journey away from home to
back-to-back games against Doves All Stars and Paidha Black Angels all at Barokoro playground in Zombo District, West Nile.
