The Azam Uganda Premier League organizing body has fixed a new date for the clash between Sports Club Villa and Express FC that was abandoned last Friday due to a soaked Nakivubo Stadium.
According to a communication from the football governing body FUFA website, the ‘Kampala derby’ as it is commonly referred to, was called off due a water logged ground after a heavy afternoon pour a few hours before the match.
“A new date Saturday November 7, 2015 has been set for the fixture between SC Villa Jogoo and Express FC,” read part of the statement signed by the Uganda Premier League Chief Executive Officer Bernard Bainamani.
The last time the two teams met was back in March this year, the game ending prematurely 1-1 in the 83rd minute due to violence caused by Express fans, according to reports.
The record Ugandan champions Villa was awarded 3 points and 3 goals after a boardroom decision.
According to Bainamani, other fixtures that had been postponed have also been rescheduled.
