Uganda Premier League secretariat has rescheduled five fixtures that involve clubs from Jinja due to their request.

The four teams share only two stadiums, Kakindu which hosts BUL FC and JMC Hippos while Sadolin Paints and kirinya share Bugembe.
“The UPL Secretariat is in receipt of requests from the Jinja clubs asking us to adjust the fixture to enable them give one fixture in Jinja than the current two,” a statement read in part.
