FUFA through its Competitions Disciplinary Panel has on Thursday sanctioned three Express FC fans over hooliganism.
The three are Mukenya Noah, Zimula Sulaiman and Nkata Abasi with the former two already in jail over the same case.
“The FUFA Disciplinary Panel (FDP) has made decisions following incidents that occurred during and after the Uganda Premier League match between UDPF FC and Express FC played on 27th October, 2023 at Bombo Military Barracks Grounds,” the statement reads.
