FOOTBALL Continental football is must -says new KCCA FC Chairman
In his first interview with the club media, Sserunjogi used the platform to highlight some of the areas he will have his focus on in his tenure as club chairman, and a return to continental football is on of the focus points.
Pulse Sports understands that the Congolese-born had been named in KCCA FC's starting lineup before Sunday's FUFA Super 8 3rd/4th playoff game against SC Villa, but he did not show up, forcing head coach Sergio Traguil to make changes.

FOOTBALL KCCA FC get new chairman, board members
KCCA FC patron Erias Lukwago who also doubles as the Kampala Lord Mayor has made reshuffles in the club board of directors. Eng Andrew Sserunjogi Mukiibi is the new KCCA FC chairman, replacing Martin Ssekajja
"He (Kankonde) has indeed absconded from duty without any communication, and we continue to search for his whereabouts," the source noted.
Kankonde joined KCCA FC at the start of the 2022 season but struggled for form, managing seven goals across all competitions.
However, in May, the 23-year-old was slapped with an eight-game ban after the FUFA Competitions Disciplinary panel reprimanded him for throwing a punch to center referee Mashood Ssali in the closely contested league game against Vipers at St. Mary's Stadium Kitende.
Kankonde is said to be trying to force a move to Vipers
Pulse Sports reliably understands that the Venoms assistant coach Lukusa Kayembe Raoul, Kankonde's compatriot, is believed to be engineering the move, although the forward is still contracted with the Lugogo-based side.
