Football Bright Stars questions FUFA's fixture schedule

However, the urgency with which they need their next two fixtures, against KCCA FC in the Stanbic Uganda Cup and Onduparaka FC in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, has not reasonably been treated with the same importance by FUFA.

The next few days are set to be crucially defining for Soltilo Bright Stars' campaign.

However, the urgency with which they need their next two fixtures, against KCCA FC in the Stanbic Uganda Cup and Onduparaka FC in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, has not reasonably been treated with the same importance by FUFA.

They take on the Kasasiro Boys in the Cup's quarterfinals on Sunday at Kavumba before travelling to West Nile for the Caterpillars' bout on Wednesday.

"This leaves the team with just one day of preparation between the KCCA FC match and the Onduparaka match," a complaint signed by General Manager Harold Atukwatse on behalf of CEO Mathias Mugobe to FUFA, seen by Pulse Sports, partly notes.

"Especially considering that the team will have to travel to Arua early on Tuesday," it adds.

The Kavumba club needs the federation to consider rescheduling one of the two matches in question.

"This is to humbly request that either our match against KCCA is rescheduled for Friday 14th April or the match against Onduparaka is moved from Wednesday to Thursday 20th April."

The Asaph Mwebaze coached side are currently enduring a torrid run of results as they have lost four on the bounce in the league and sit 11th on the 15-team log with 24 points.

Progress to the semi-finals of the Cup and victory against strugglers Onduparaka would rewrite their season to the right margins.
