Fifa hs cleared Uganda defender Juuko Murushid to play for Express FC in the Ugandan Premier League (UPL).

The 26-year-old defender has been out of active football since leaving Moroccan Botola Pro side Wydad Casablanca after they disagreed over payment.

After returning home, Juuko became a transfer target for both Express, Vipers SC, and KCCA FC but he opted to sign for Express on a one-year deal, but he was yet to be unveiled as he was waiting for the green light after petitioning Fifa over his former side.
