Like in UPL, FUFA revealed all the owners of the Big League Clubs.
The Federation said that the list of the shareholders was sourced from the club licensing documents the teams submitted for the 2019/20 season.
The list includes the three teams that were relegated from UPL last season – Tooro United, Maroons and Proline.
Speaking of Tooro United, the documents in possession of FUFA show that the club is still owned by Smart Obediah and Ssessanga Spelito despite the wide public knowledge that the club was reportedly sold to city socialite Jack Pemba.
Despite the recent power struggles at Paidha BA, the documents in Mengo revealed that John Pascal Wapokora and Emmanuel Kermit are the majority shareholders for the Bar Okoro based club with 20% shares each.
Mujib Kasule solely owns Proline FC while relegated Katwe United has eight owners with MP Allan Ssewanyana taking the lion’s share of 80%.
Bernard Ogwel, the NCS General Secretary has 60% shares in Bukedea Town Council FC. That is also interesting.
Note – The Big League is the second tier of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations. The league was founded in 2009 and comprises two divisions known respectively as the Elgon Group and the Rwenzori Group. Next season, Big League will tentatively kickoff on October 29, 2020.
