FOOTBALL Mbale Heroes-Admin saga: FUFA suspends Eastern Region’s Big League playoffs
Ugly scenes have dogged the regional league as the historic club battled for promotion to the second division against Admin from Tororo.
The region’s CDP had awarded the match to Busia United claiming that the away fans were the trouble-causers.
However, in an interesting turn of events, the FUFA CDP found that the “Eastern Regional FA CDP did not follow the right procedure in making its decision and therefore arrived at a wrong decision”.
“… the panel decided that in the interest of fairness, the match be replayed. The decision by the Eastern Region Football Association in which Mbale Heroes FC lost the match by a forfeiture is set aside,” FUFA ruled.
“The Eastern Region Football Association is ordered to organize a full replay of Match No. 54 Busia United Vs Mbale Heroes. The replay shall be played in a closed stadium on a neutral ground outside the Bukedi Region,” the region was ordered.
The decision means that Admin, who were crowned winners and set to play Kigulu United in the FUFA Big League round one playoff, will hope for favours from Busia if they’re to proceed.
Busia ended the league with 52 points, one ahead of Heroes who need a point to qualify.
