FUFA Appeals Committee Dismisses Proline’s Appeal

By Brian Bariyo Tumuramye

Kampala: The FUFA Appeals Committee has ruled that; Proline FC’s appeal against the decision issued on 11/09/2019 by the FUFA Competitions Disciplinary Panel (CDP) is dismissed.

This came after Proline refused to play
against the Jogoos when their players Mustafa Mujjuzi and Bright Anukani were
called up by the national team for the friendly against Kenya on a FIFA
gazetted international day citing unfairness since Anukani was a late inclusion
into the Cranes squad.

The FUFA Appeals Committee there after upheld the decision by the FA’s Competitions Disciplinary Panel (CDP) in docking Proline points and fining the club for failure to honor their match against SC Villa.

FUFA’s Tweet

The committee said in a statement, “The FUFA Appeals Committee has ruled
that; Proline FC’s appeal against the decision issued on 11/09/2019 by the FUFA
Competitions Disciplinary Panel (CDP) is dismissed.

“The decision of Competitions Disciplinary Panel Ordering that Proline FC
loses the match against SC Villa Jogoo by forfeiture, be docked 6 points &
6 goals from those accumulated or to be accumulated and a fine of UGX 5M be
confirmed.”

Proline had earlier written to FUFA confirming that they were not honouring
the fixture because two of their players in Mustafa Mujuzi and Bright Anukani
were on National team duty and that according to FIFA rules on International
break, all domestic leagues must take a break.

However the Fufa rules say the minimum is three players and other league
games were played that day.

If the club consider Fufa’s ruling as unfair judgment, they will have to
appeal to FIFA and then to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the world’s
highest sports court.

Proline became the second club to be docked points this season after Police
didn’t show up for their game against Onduparaka on match day one when they
were out of the country for military games without notifying the Uganda Premier
League committee.

The club, sitting at the bottom of the 16-team
table with no point is yet to respond on the matter but they earlier promised
they will follow the matter to the highest decision makers if possible.
