But surprisingly, this is the time when disagreements between USL and FUFA are at their peak to an extent of USL taking FUFA to court over small issues that can be sorted out amicably.

Our local football is becoming international due to the coming of Super Sport with the aim of televising Ugandan local matches to the world and other local sponsors who have come up to boost our football.

But this can only be successful with a good working relationship between the stakeholders of Ugandan football. I suggest that USL withdraws cases against FUFA to get set for fruitful negotiations.
