Pepsi University Football League: Kyambogo against Ndejje postponed after coach's death

Komakech, who was also part of the Ndejje ICT staff, succumbed to kidney failure at Kiruddu Hospital on Wednesday.

And to allow the team and university ample time to grieve, the University Football League secretariat has pushed their second leg bout with Kyambogo to Friday this week.

"Following the passing away of the Ndejje University Football Club Head Coach, Komakech Raymond, Ndejje University has requested for their game scheduled for Friday 27th October 2023 against Kyambogo University to be postponed to allow them to mourn and bury their coach," a statement from UFL said.

"The LOC (Organizing Committee) has accepted this request, and the match has accordingly been postponed," it confirmed.

It is a Group C second-leg encounter between the two after last week's first leg ended in a one-all stalemate at Kyambogo University grounds.

After three games, Makerere University comfortably tops the Pool with nine points, while Kyambogo comes second with four.

Meanwhile, Ndejje University occupies third on two points, while Muni University sits rock-bottom.
