Football fans, mind your behaviour on the pitch

Fans of the Uganda Cranes during the match at Namboole

EDITOR: On Saturday, I was very embarrassed by the behaviour of our football fans. Fans threw all sorts of objects, including rubbish, on the pitch and poured water on each other as they celebrated each goal.

Football fans have done this many times and it is high time this sort of behaviour stopped.

Such behaviour could make our team lose points or even be penalised. I request the management of Namboole Stadium and FUFA to stop this hooliganism immediately.

FUFA should ban the sale of items such as mineral water, waragi and alcohol in and around the stadium.

EDITOR: I would like to thank all Ugandans for supporting the Cranes as they humiliated Angola at Mandela National Stadium. More so, a few days before our Cranes win, the Kobs had re-affirmed their position as the under-20 CECAFA regional soccer power house.

I, therefore, urge the Government to support the Cranes and all the other national teams in different e sports.

These teams need all the necessary resources to compete effectively on the international scene.

The Government should know that it is its responsibility to finance the national teams. The Government should stop leaving that responsibility to the federations that govern various sports.
