The 2019-20 Futsal Super League season will officially kick off on Monday October 28th at the Lugogo Indoor Arena.

Unlike in the previous season, only six clubs will take part in this season’s league that is Park FC, Aidenal Entebbe, Mengo City, Kabowa FC, Kisenyi FC and Intercity Busega.

Defending champions Yeak Kabowa are among the eight teams that took part in previous campaign but won’t compete this term.

The great decline from last season’s 14 clubs to only six is attributed to the licensing terms and conditions that many clubs couldn’t fulfill.

Hamza Jjunju the chairperson of Futsal Association of Uganda explains why club licensing was applied hence a decline in the number of participating clubs,

” We undertook the club licensing process to ensure long term stable and self sustaining clubs.”

” Among the core areas of licensing was governance whereby a club must be a registered company with clear ownership.”
Jjunju further explains.

” Human Resource, whereby each club has its technical team and player contracts plus a Public relations person in place. Each club should pay a subscription of 2 millions. Lastly, Brand building and marketing whereby each team makes use of social media presence that is on Facebook and Twitter.”

The league will be kicked off at 6:30pm when Mengo City lock horns with Kabowa FC.

The second game of the day will be between Aidenal Entebbe and Kisenyi FC at 7:45pm.

Last season’s runners up Park FC and Intercity Busega will close the day at 9:00pm.

The first round will run for only one month and will come to an end on the 25th of November with each team playing five games.

This will be the third edition of the Futsal Super League since the establishment in 2017. Dream won the inaugural edition in May 2018 while Yeak Kabowa won the second.
