This section concerns the Premier League, where we established a policy that the matchday ball must be the Zakayo ball. I thank the Uganda Premier League Secretariat and the teams in the first division for ensuring this regulation is followed. Today, I am pleased to announce, on behalf of the federation, that there is an ample supply of these balls in FUFA’s stores. Each club has been allocated 20 balls,” said Hon.
