The Petition Nebbi central Raised againat Young Elephant. Was really sense and true?.
We believe the FUFA should make football real and great by clarifying who is registered and Licensed for a certain league and particular team for a season in the System
Young Elephants were using 2 players who was not having license.
The payers had never been in their line up for regional league games they had play and those player were from Big leagues
Let young elephant to go and play big league nebbi central win at first young elephant doesn’t written partition why.
