The ruling gives Mbale Heroes, who finished the Eastern Regional League second behind Admin, an advantage to compete in the FUFA Big League playoffs.
However, the FUFA CDP overturned the ruling and ordered it to be replayed afresh. The replay between Heroes and Busia, however, did not take place as the latter refused to turn up in Bugembe.
Bribery
Busia’s failure to turn up means that Mbale Heroes are awarded three points and three goals and therefore finish on top of the group and will now face Kigulu.

FOOTBALL Admin in tears, advantage to Mbale Heroes as FUFA order replay of abandoned fixture
FUFA recently ordered the match between Busia United and Mbale Heroes to be replayed after punching holes in the Eastern Regional Competitions Disciplinary Panel (CDP)’s ruling.
Admin had written a letter to withdraw from the FUFA-organised leagues but their fans have petitioned the FUFA president Eng. Moses Magogo to call off the match and institute an inquiry on his deputy CEO Decolas Kiiza and the CDP.
“We write to you on behalf of Admin FC fans, and shareholders inviting you to reign in and take action against controversial decisions of FUFA deputy CEO and the FUFA CDP over their handling of the illegal petition disguised as judicial review filed by Mbale Heroes officials disguising as fans which has denied Admin FC an opportunity to play offs,” the letter reads.
The fans further listed their demands:
“We demand that: The play offs are suspended until the matter is resolved; The decision of FUFA CDP is stayed and reviewed; FUFA CDP Applies the law in its ruling; The officials who disregarded the law be Investigated and referred to The FUFA ethics committee over corruption allegations.”
