Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA FC) head coach Mike Mutebi has explained why they had fewer players for their Ugandan Premier League (UPL) tie against Mbarara City.
The league champions had only 16 players, which is against the regulations which require a team to have 18 players during a matchday. Mutebi admitted the majority of his players failed to meet the requirements of licensing regulations by the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa).
“It was a licensing problem. Fufa is very strict with the National Identity Cards. Most of them had passports but did not have national IDs whereas some are still on the sidelines due to injuries, the main reason as to why we had a limited team is because of the licensing procedure,” Mutebi told Kawowo Sports.
