Background:
The appeal is against the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) following a decision by the FUFA Disciplinary panel to deduct 6 points and goals apiece as well as call for a fine of Shs 5M.
This followed the club’s decision not to honour a Uganda Premier League match that they were supposed to host against Sports Club Villa at the Star Times Stadium, Lugogo on the 7th September 2019 during match day three.
Proline Football Club reasoned that two of their players (Bright Anukani and Musitafa Mujjuzi) were not available as they had been summoned to the Uganda Cranes on the squad that traveled to Nairobi to face Kenya Harambee Stars at the Moi International Stadium, Kasarani.
Currently, the club is dogged in the relegation parameters on the 16 team Uganda Premier League table standings as they sit bottom with no point from 8 games (with six points deducted).
The club is represented by Meddie Kaggwa and Company Advocates.
