Busoga United player Charles Sunday Mulanda could have dug himself a bottomless pit after cynically headbutting referee Gerald Tumusiime in their game against Gadaffi FC on Tuesday.
Mulanda, who was Busoga's skipper on the day, attacked the official in retaliation for a red card as Busoga won 1-0 against their regional neighbours on Tuesday in Jinja.
The incident didn't go unnoticed and uncharged as FUFA has summoned him to respond based on his actions.
"The FUFA Disciplinary Panel (FDP) has summoned Busoga United FC Player Charles Sunday Mulanda to submit a written statement to clarify, contend, or dispute his actions stated in the referee’s report of the match between Gaddafi FC and Busoga United FC played on Tuesday 24th October 2023 at Gaddafi Arena-Jinja."
"Mulanda has to submit the statement by Thursday 26th October 2023 before 5 pm local time," the FUFA statement adds.
In other disciplinary summons by FUFA, Kataka FC head coach Godfrey Awachango FUFA has been charged after leading his team off the pitch against rivals Kyetume FC.
