“The playgrounds are in the right conditions, well marked and available for the zone games. Girls’ Football will be played for only one day that is Sunday since the teams are few. For the boys, group stages will be played on Saturday 29th and later semi finals, classification and the final will be played on Sunday at Kabimbiri play ground.”-Luboyera Herbert.
Slot allocation
Mukono zone as per 2024 has 2 slots for the U16 boys in contrast to the one slot available for the girls’ football. Therefore, the winner in the girls’ category and the two that will qualify for the boys’ final will book their slots at the National championship.
Football grouped under the non- FEASSA ball games will be played later via this year at Teso College Aloet- Soroti from 1st to 9th September.
