Head coach Mbabazi and captain Gadafi Wahab are some influential team members who left to join Vipers SC and NEC FC, respectively.

Assistant Coach Ahmed Borini is the latest member of Arua Hill SC to vacate the West Nile outfit.

Borini confirmed the decision on his Facebook page on Sunday morning.

Today I am saying goodbye to a club that gave me a great chance to become a better coach in the last two years,” Borini’s post read.

“I used the opportunity to learn and help the team improve. Thanks to Coach Livingstone Mbabazi for guiding me and the club management for the chance.”

“It is time for me to leave, and I wish the team all the best in the upcoming games and future,” the post concluded.

Head coach Mbabazi and captain Gadafi Wahab are some influential team members who left to join Vipers SC and NEC FC, respectively.

From playing with eight players in a 7-1 mauling by Kitara FC in the league to fielding ten players as they were eliminated from the Stanbic Uganda Cup by Nsambya SC following a 3-0 victory in the Round of 64.

It will surely take an extra effort for the Leopards to rise again.

As the Uganda Premier League secretariat released the second round fixtures, the Kongolo did not appear, and they have until Monday, 29th 2024, for a resolution.

Ownership, governance, and players’ contracts continue to burden the club that had a brilliant maiden season, finishing fifth in the 2021/22 campaign and a position better the next term when they were fourth in the 2022/23 season.

At the start of the 2023/24 campaign, their home, Barifa Stadium, lacked the requirements; hence, they sought asylum in Adjumani.

If the Arua-based side is included back in the UPL fixtures, they will again be on the move, hosting their home games at Bombo Military Barracks Grounds.
