Maroon FC coach Bamweyana not happy with UPL fixture congestion

Maroon FC coach Douglas Bamweyana has been left frustrated by the rapid re-scheduling of league matches in the Uganda Premier League.

Bamweyama believes this has caused his side to drop points in recent weeks, the latest being a 1-1 home draw against Tooro United on Friday.

“My players were fatigued; it also angers me that in a professional league like ours we play the next game after 24 hours. These players are not machines and by the way, even machines need to rest," Bamweyana is quoted by New Vision.

According to Bamweyana, the organisers of the league behave like they want to get rid of the games quickly thus congesting them, which he believes is not professional and makes players not give their all on the field.
