Fufa cancels semi-final playoffs, declares Northern Gateway FC, Cavalry FC bona fide winners

The Federation of Uganda Football Association (Fufa) has cancelled the remaining two Regional League playoffs due to the surging cases of the coronavirus.

Two semi-finals involving Young Elephants against Northern Gateway from the Northern Region League and Calvary against Hot Springs FC from the West Nile Region League were remaining but now cannot proceed given the latest Fufa directive.

The returned results of eight players testing positive forced Fufa to convene a meeting that decided to end the matches.
