SC Villa's Kaziba reveals how they managed to finish third despite challenges

SC Villa head coach Edward Kaziba has revealed teamwork was the reason why the Ugandan Premier League side performed well in the concluded 2019/20 season.

With five rounds remaining to conclude the season, the top tier was suspended in mid-March owing to Covid-19 pandemic.

The league was eventually annulled by the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) after the pandemic was not contained quickly.

As a result, the eight-time league champions managed to finish third on the table.

"It was teamwork despite problems within the camp such as delayed payment of wages," Kaziba said as quoted by New Vision.
