Junior Eagles Football Club present strong case after aborted play-off duel against Tapo | FUFA North-East Region

The long-awaited North-East region play-off final between Tapo (Ngora) and Junior Eagles (Soroti) slated on Sunday, 8th June 2025 did not happen as planned.

This followed the presentation of different licenses by Tapo Football Club, as the ones sent to clubs by Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA).

In particular, Junior Eagles questioned two players Micah Ocen and Patrick Oloya who appeared in the line up but not on the album.

Another player Joseph Okiror had a license but not present in the NIRA records which raises suspicion how he acquired the license.

In a formal complaint raised by the Junior Eagles Football Club Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Paul Opus to the chairperson of the FUFA North East region, he quotes Article 31 of the FUFA Competitions rules and regulations; concerning the inspection of licenses.

(6) For all the 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th division, there shall be completion of inspection of licenses of both teams by the captains of each club supervised by the match officials with at least 40 minutes to kick-off time. All players’ licenses must be presented by the club officials. A license (s) of player (s) whose eligibility is being contested by the opposing team shall be retained by the match officials.

(7) All disputes in the 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th division concerning the regularity of the licenses may be subject to protest before the kick-off of the match and submitted to FUFA or the TOC by match officials for a decision. The copy of the licenses of the contested players must be sent by the commissioner or TOC of the match along with his/her official report.

(8) In the 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th Division, a player (s) whose license cannot be presented by club officials at the time of inspection, shall be ineligible to play in the respective FUFA Competition Match unless such a license (s) is (are) presented before resumption of the second half of the match in question and failure to produce such mission license (s), the respective club officials shall consequently delete the players name from the match sheet.
