FOOTBALL Ben Misagga demands payment for millions he lent to SC Villa
Former SC Villa president Immanuel Ben Misagga has come out to make demands of payment of monies he lent to the club over nine years.
"If acts of hooliganism and violence as defined in the FUFA Rules occur outside the precincts of the match venue or outside Game Time but logically linked to a just concluded match, the defaulting club if found liable, will lose two (2) Points and two (2) Goals from those already accumulated while for a knock-out format the defaulting club will be fined 3,000 UAs or excluded from that particular competition the following season or both sanction."
"If the defaulting club is the winner of the match and does not pay the fine of 3,000 UAs before the next knock-out match, it will be eliminated from the competition," the amended rules further provide.
Clubs could, however, be pardoned from sanctions should they identify the individual perpetrators behind the specific acts of hooliganism.

FOOTBALL Denis Onyango celebrates another continental triumph with Mamelodi Sundowns
Former Uganda Cranes captain Denis Onyango might have not played a minute in the six games Mamelodi Sundowns played to win the inaugural African Football League title but he added another continental trophy to his trophy cabin.
"In the event that the individual perpetrator(s) are identified by the defaulting club, and it is established that their acts were without the influence of the club, the FJC may at its discretion exonerate the club from the sanctions mentioned herein above."
FUFA has further asserted that the individual perpetrators will also face the law as provided for in the Sports Act but also face bans from match venues.
"They shall be declared persona non grata for FUFA competitions for a specified period and shall bear liabilities in accordance with National Sports Act 2023."
The amendments come only days after Express FC walked away scot-free after a section of their fans beat assistant referee Fahad Sekayuba following their one-all draw a fortnight back.
With the incident happening around Matugga and not the venue (Bombo Military Barracks), the Red Eagles were deemed innocent and were, thus, not sanctioned.
