Kampala — World football governing body, Fifa has passed 16 Ugandan referees for the award of International badges for the year 2012. The list has four male center referees, one less than the number cleared in 2010, which is attributed to Mohammad Ssegonga’s retirement in May.
The male center referees include Denis Batte, Ronnie Kalema, Ali Kalyango and Fredrick Mufta. Irene Namubiru and Ssemambo Nabikko are the only two female centre referees given the Fifa nod.
The list also has seven male assistant referees including Hussein Bugembe, Khalifan Kanakulya, Samuel Kayondo, Yahaya Kitti, Balikoowa Musa Ngobi, Patabali Okello and Mark Sonko. RehmahKizito, Diana Mukasa and Marrex Nakitto Nkumbi are the three female assistant referees.
Fufa president Lawrence Mulindwa met and congratulated the referees at Mengo yesterday.
