Coronavirus: Ugandan clubs assure players of March salaries despite UPL suspension

There had been rumours footballers might not be paid at the end of the month but at least three top-tier clubs have come out to clear the air

Three Uganda clubs have assured their players of March payments despite the Premier League suspension due to the coronavirus.

Following the government's order to ban public gatherings and the subsequent Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) move to suspend the league for one month, the units have assured the players of their salaries.

“In the immediate term, sure, we’ll pay the players and staff. But in the medium term, we have to evaluate the impact of the global disorder,” KCCA FC vice-chairman Aggrey Ashaba told Daily Monitor.
