The uncertainty follows the membership’s relegation from the FUFA Huge League, a setback that leaves the as soon as high-flying facet dealing with an unsure future.

On Saturday, Wakiso Giants posted a farewell message on social media that many interpreted as greater than only a response to relegation.

“Some journeys are measured by the gap coated, others by the teachings carried. Since 2018, the highway has been lengthy, the storms many, and the silence usually louder than the cheers. Each chapter finally finds its remaining web page. Until we by no means meet once more.”

The message shortly caught the eye of followers and soccer stakeholders, with many questioning whether or not the membership was getting ready to shut its doorways after eight years in existence.

These fears had been heightened when membership president Musa Atagenda shared his personal ideas on social media.

“I gave the whole lot. Time, cash, power and perception. Sadly, soccer has a approach of punishing those that genuinely put money into it. Some choices are painful, however mandatory. The most important mistake is anticipating equity in a system that feeds in your ardour and provides nothing again.”

Atagenda’s assertion appeared to mirror years of frustration regardless of the big funding he has made within the membership since its formation in 2018.
