Furious Spartans Football club President Suleiman Kiwanuka has decided to resign from football activities after being at loggerheads with the Federation of Uganda Football Associations(FUFA).

Kiwanuka confirmed the development at a press briefing held on Monday at Below 32 Restaurant in Munyonyo.

I have decided to leave football due to FUFA frustration. Football was key in my education and I only had to pay it by investing in it. I lose nothing by leaving football only that I feel for the players who will be suffering.”

“Every year, i have been spending over Shs100M at Spartans since we have been paying our players on time and also helping those from other clubs.” I hurts to see that the Federation has only decided to pay me in such a horrible manner.”

“The people who run the game in the country are arrogant and good at tormenting others.”

On the controversial transfer of Isaac Ogwang to SC Villa, Kiwanuka said

“I was called by our CEO about Villa’s interest in Ogwang. During that time I was in Nakifuma for campaigns and told him to take on the mantle.”

“After a fortnight, officials from Villa called me and expressed their interest again in the player and my response was that there has to be a transaction”.

“They told me that they will get back to me but after sometime, I saw them unveiling the player. I checked in the Federation system and he was still our player.”

” I told the club Public relations (Tendo Musoke) to talk to Villa officials but they couldn’t respond to his calls.”

“I posted something about the transfer on Facebook, a certain lady called me from FUFA and she was very arrogant. Later, I talked to FUFA Competitions director Aisha Nalule and I narrated to her the whole issue, and she seemed interested in the matter.

“Then yesterday, my brother called me about a post on FUFA Facebook about them suspending me. Fined over something I wasn’t aware.” Stated Kiwanuka.

Kiwanuka was fined Shs1M by FUFA for defamatory statements and for failure to cooperate with the adjudicatory chamber of the ethics committee.
