The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has come out and ashamed all Uganda Cranes players, exposing off their payments for a period of 33 months including their State House Earnings and more. Denis Onyango was paid 320Million.
Building off from too much pressure, players payments have been a source of conflict between the federation and Uganda internationals, but now it has been sorted.
In a document posted on social media, the highest-paid player was former Cranes skipper and Mamelodi Sundowns custodian Denis Onyango, who received UGx320,617,500 while Mike Mutyaba pocketed the lowest amount, UGx12,950,000.
"These payments are direct income by players and do not include any other expenses incurred on the team over the period. Please note that more players are paid by Fufa than listed here, these same players have earned from other Fufa sources but this is from the Government."
Recently, Hassan Wasswa, Onyango, and Micheal Azira announced their retirement from the national team and many attributed their decision to hang up their boots to Fufa president Moses Magogo, who had initially stated players who played in African Nations Championship (Chan) did not deserve their payment.
The East African heavyweights are now focusing on the 2022 World Cup whereby they are pooled with rivals Kenya, Mali, and Rwanda in qualifying.
