Controversies around changing the Uganda Premier League’s competition format
The Uganda Premier League faced major backlash in 2025 when FUFA tried to change the competition format. Clubs and fans criticized the new three-round system for being confusing, unfair, and risky for match revenues. Top teams like Vipers SC and SC Villa said it was made without proper consultation and could create problems with player contracts and match logistics. After protests and boycotts, FUFA suspended the plan and returned to the traditional 16-team home-and-away format.
