KCCA FC head coach Abdallah Mubiru has expressed concerns over poor officiating in recent Uganda Premier League matches.

The Kasasiro Boys have suffered consecutive defeats against Vipers and NEC, but Mubiru believes the refereeing decisions have not been up to standard.

One key moment of contention came when KCCA was denied a penalty after Alfred Mudekereza collided with Etienne Katenga inside the box.

“We had a moment when we were denied a clear penalty. That kind of incident demoralized us,” Mubiru said.

“We are doing our best to keep the players positive, but there’s a growing feeling among them that we are being treated unfairly.”

“It’s affecting their mindset, disturbing them, and causing them to lose concentration,” he added.

KCCA currently sits eighth in the league table with 24 points from 17 games.
