AMID the bundles of disappointment and trait, the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) technical arm has yet to reverse its decision of booting Ireland based play-maker Livingstone Mbabazi (Right) from the Cranes Nation’s Cup qualifiers.
According to the federation’s secretary Haruna Mawanda, a decision to include the Irish based professional into coach Paul Hasule’s squad preparations for Cranes build-ups and qualifier against Rwanda has not been reached.
“Mbabazi is still not free to join the Cranes at the moment. We took a decision that has yet to be reversed. He let us down and we haven’t recovered.
“We need him but discipline counts more however good you are, his behaviour was simply unacceptable.
“He sent two apologies that weren’t accepted by the executive and not until the decision is reversed, he will not be here,†said Mawanda.
Although Mbabazi was convicted of affray, the committee bosses are convinced he hasn’t paid his dues and will not give Hasule the go-ahead to pick the 23-year-old at the moment.
