The 2020 Entebbe Zone Copa Football Qualifiers are expected to resume moments after the Ministry of Health clears the state of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) threat in the country.

A total of 90 goals had been scored in 40 matches by the time of the break.

Two schools; Kisubi High School, Jovans High School were already guaranteed of quarter final slots by virtue of the supremacy and the rest would be determined after the completion of the last group stage matches.

According to the in charge of the technical affairs in this zone, Dirisa Walusimbi, the matches are expected owing to the situation in the country concerning the Coronavirus threat.

“We have played most of the group stage matches before the forced break due to Coronavirus. We expect to resume as soon as the Ministry of Health clears the situation and when students return to the schools” Dirisa Walusimbi stated.

Boston High School, Mpala the Zone’s defending and record champions had already registered a couple of mixed fortunes in the opening stages with two wins and one loss.
