Uganda has finally been allowed to play football after President Yoweri Museveni allowed sporting activities to return on Sunday.
In his address to the nation, Museveni confirmed the government will allow sporting activities to resume but without spectators, and also asked organisers to test players for Covid-19 72 hours before any match.
“Open-air activities of sports will be open, provided there are no spectators,” Museveni said in his address to the nation from State House Entebbe. “We must learn to have games without spectators and players should be tested 72 hours before the games.”
Museveni added: “Players should learn to remain quarantined for the period of the games.
