The Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) Competitions Disciplinary Panel has ruled that Tooro United FC lost their home game against Onduparaka by forfeiture.
In the same vein, Tooro United has been indebted three goals and points each because of failure to honour their home match because they could not raise the mandatory number of licenced players (7) for the match to kick off.
According to article 26 of the FUFA Competitions rules, there shall always be an inspection of licenses by the captains of each club supervised by the referee and match assessor and all licenses must be presented by club officials.
The FUFA Disciplinary panel chairperson Deo Mutabazi passed the ruling on Friday, 10th January 2020.
Tooro United could only raise four licenced players in their match against Onduparaka.
Whereas Onduparaka also had less than 11 players (7) ready to play the game, this contest could not kick off because the number of players required to start a football game is 7.
Tooro United’s four licenced players on the evening were captain Willy Kavuma, Issa Mubiru, Davis Ssali and Charles Musiige.
This comes barely 24 hours after Tooro United interim head coach Eric Ndifuna decided to part ways with the club sighting unfavourable working conditions.
Ndifuna is the fourth high-profile departure at the club following in the footsteps of head coach Wasswa Bbosa, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Moses Tusime and Public Relations Officer (PRO) Shaban Lubega.
Tooro United is currently 13th on the Uganda Premier League standings with 14 points from 16 games.
Their next fixture is away to Kyetume FC next Wednesday.
