KAMPALA Capital City Authority (KCCA) has announced a sh500m budget for its football club KCC FC.
The authority, headed by Jennifer Musisi plans to use the club to rebuild its image in a three-year strategic plan.
Club publicist Aldrine Nsubuga confirmed the budget which also came with re-naming of the club from Kampala City Council to Kampala Capital City (KCC FC) as the first move towards re-branding.
The club’s budget has been beefed from the sh350m last season. In the entire 2010/2011season, KCC spent sh90m in player salaries and wages, sh40m on training allowances and sh38m on the players’ lunch and dinner. Nsubuga said that the budget had increased on each of those items.
Until early last year, Kampala City Council suffered a battered image with the club’s players and team officials striking in order to squeeze payments out of the mother body.
Nsubuga said that the offer to increase the club budget is meant to allow KCC FC realise their plans of setting up an academy to groom their own players with a sense of belonging.
“KCC FC has deliberately avoided recruiting recycled players. We want build our own super stars,†Nsubuga explained yesterday.
KCC FC plan to utilize Lugogo as their new home ground.
