Kigezi HomeBoyz FC has bemoaned violent incidents that marred their FUFA Big League fixture against Kiyinda Boys FC at Betherm City Grounds, raising serious concerns about safety and matchday security.

In an official statement, Kigezi HomeBoyz FC said their team was subjected to hostility from the moment they arrived at the venue.

“From the moment we arrived at the stadium, our team was subjected to hostility, including delayed access to the venue, verbal abuse at the entrance, and confrontations involving home club officials,” the statement reads.

The club says the situation escalated during and after the match, with several individuals reportedly injured following attacks on players, officials, and referees.

“At full-time, our players, club officials, and referees were physically attacked by individuals associated with the home team, including sections of their supporters and officials,” the club stated.

Kigezi further alleges that their club photographer was assaulted and had essential equipment confiscated shortly after kickoff.

“Our club photographer was forcibly removed from the perimeter, assaulted, and had essential equipment confiscated, including cameras and laptops,” the statement added.

The club has since questioned the security arrangements at the venue and confirmed it has gathered evidence to pursue the matter through the appropriate channels.

“We believe football should unite people and be played in a safe, respectful environment. Such acts of violence and hooliganism have no place in the game,” the statement emphasized.

Kigezi HomeBoyz is now calling on the Federation of Uganda Football Associations to launch a thorough investigation and take firm action against those responsible.

Kiyinda has shared a controversial incident from which they conceded a penalty:

NAIROBI, Kenya, March 26, 2026 — Kenya’s Junior Starlets head coach Mildred Cheche has expressed confidence in her youthful squad as they continue preparations for their upcoming FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier against Namibia.

Cheche revealed that the current squad represents a new cycle for the team, following the transition of several key players to the U-20 ranks.

As a result, the technical bench has turned to fresh talent drawn from across the country, signaling the start of a rebuilding phase focused on long-term development.

“We have a young squad, a new one, because most of our players moved up to the U-20. So we selected a young team from different parts of the country, and so far, they are blending well and adapting to the style of play,” Cheche explained.

The coach acknowledged that the upcoming clash presents an added layer of unpredictability, with Kenya set to face Namibia for the first time at this level.

Without prior knowledge of their opponents’ style, Cheche noted that the team is focusing on refining its own approach and taking the tie one game at a time.

“Against Namibia, we have never played them before, so we don’t know their style. We are preparing ourselves the best way we can, then we will see how it goes,” she said.

Despite the squad overhaul, Cheche highlighted that a handful of experienced players from previous campaigns remain within the setup, providing a crucial foundation for the younger group.

The mix, she believes, is already showing promise as the team continues to gel in camp.

With the first leg set to be played away before the return fixture in Nairobi, the Junior Starlets will be aiming to quickly find cohesion and translate their training progress into performance on the pitch as they chase a place in the next round of qualification.
