WCQ 2018: Fifa Fine Uganda For Fans Misconduct

Fifa has released disciplinary sanctions for different incidents that happened in the preliminary round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Uganda has also fallen in the disciplinary course after being found guilty of fans’ misconduct during their second round clash against Togo on November 15th 2015 at the Mandela National stadium in Namboole.

A Geoffrey Massa and two from Farouk Miya ensured that Uganda cruised past Togo 4-0 on aggregate.

Cranes fans have been found guilty of sitting in undesignated places (emergency exits and stairway) during the match.

Fifa found the conduct contravening several articles of the FIFA Stadium Safety and Security Regulations.

Verdict

Fufa, the local football body, has therefore been fined 5000 Swiss Franc (approx US$5003 or Ushs. 18.2 M) and handed a stern warning.
