 High Tensions and Spectator Ban as Kyambogo University Faces Makerere University

In an effort to quell the longstanding rivalry between Kyambogo University and Makerere University, the management of the Pepsi University League has taken an unprecedented step by imposing a strict no-spectator policy for their upcoming match at Mak Play Grounds. This drastic decision comes in response to a history of brutal fights erupting whenever these two sides meet on the field.

The bitter rivalry between Kyambogo University and Makerere University has been a recurring theme, often overshadowing the spirit of competition that university sports are meant to embody. Previous encounters have frequently descended into chaos, causing concern among university authorities and fans alike.

To mitigate the risk of further violence, the Pepsi University League management has declared the match a "free zone," where spectators will not be allowed entry. This unprecedented measure aims to create an environment where players can compete without the added pressure of an agitated crowd.
There is heavy deployment of the police and the army on the field to shield against any students who would like to use force.  

Adding to the tension, today's friendly match between Kyambogo University Guild leaders and the 89th Guild leaders of Makerere University took a dramatic turn. In a surprising turn of events, Kyambogo University's 19th Guild House secured a  victory over Makerere's 89th Guild team, winning with a score of one goal to nil. The goal was scored in 79th minute by Hon Bruce the guild speaker

However, the friendly match ended prematurely during the second half when the referee noticed that Makerere Guild's team had fielded 12 players, instead of the standard 11. This discovery led to heightened tensions among the players and fans, ultimately resulting in a regrettable eruption of fights on the field.

As the showdown between Kyambogo University and Makerere University approaches, both institutions are on high alert, hoping that the no-spectator policy will help maintain order and prevent any further violence. The outcome of this highly anticipated match remains uncertain, but the hope is that it will be remembered for its sportsmanship rather than its conflicts.
The match will be streamed live on urban television
