KCCA still have to face Express, Busoga United, Bright Stars and BUL to end the season.
KCCA FC fans are not ready to miss out on the services of senior players Denis Iguma in the last four games of the Startimes Uganda Premier League.
And as such, the fans have come together and raised money to pay the midfielder’s fine imposed on him by Fufa on Thursday.
The FUFA Competitions Disciplinary Panel fined Iguma UGX 500,000 for comments made on his social media handle.
“FUFA Competitions Disciplinary Panel has fined Denis Iguma UGX 500,000 for breach of Article 31 of the FUFA Competitions Rules and improper comments posted on his social media account insinuating match manipulation at clubs but without supporting facts,” the federation said on Thursday.
“Iguma will not be allowed to feature for his club in any FUFA organised Competition until the fine is cleared. The player has also been warned of his future conduct.”
Iguma posted on his Twitter handle: Feel grate (great) to play for best team in Uganda. Strong team with grate (great) players. No bribing. No betting but real football.”
The comments came two days after KCCA lost 1-0 to Vipers.
