2019/20 Uganda Cup cancelled

The 2019/20 Stanbic Uganda Cup season has been cancelled.

This was one of the decisions the FUFA executive committee made regarding the immediate future of football competitions and events based on the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.

"There will be no further action in the Uganda Cup 46th edition. FUFA and the sponsor will soon announce the sponsorship details," read part of the communication from FUFA.

Despite the cancellation, teams like KCCA FC and Proline among others had reached the quarterfinals while others were yet to play the round of 16 matches.

However, with KCCA FC already having been tapped by FUFA to represent Uganda in the 2020/21 CAF Confederation Cup, playing the remaining games for Uganda Cup was just for pride.

This year's final of the Uganda Cup had been scheduled to be hosted in Masindi district.

The Uganda Cup which is the oldest football competition sees the winner represent the country in the CAF Confederation Cup.

The winner of this season of the Uganda Cup was supposed to get sh40 up from sh30m from the 2018/19 season.

Runners-up were to get sh20m while teams that would have reached the semi-finals would each get sh12m. Those that would have reached the quarter-finals were to get sh6m each and those that drop out at the round of 16 were to get sh3m each.

It's not yet known if those clubs that had reached the quarterfinals and round of 16 will get that money following the cancellation of the competition.
