Mukono, Uganda – The USSSA-Mukono Committee is set to deliver a decisive ruling on Thursday, March 27, 2025, regarding Seroma Christian High School’s petition against Kasawo over alleged player impersonation and eligibility violations. The controversy, which has rattled the ongoing USSSA qualifiers, centers on claims that Kasawo fielded ineligible players, sparking outrage over potential rule breaches and unfair competition.
Seroma Christian High School has presented compelling evidence challenging the legitimacy of several Kasawo players, including Kizza, whose photo reportedly bears inconsistencies and who does not exist in the Education Management Information System (EMIS). Additionally, Matovu Alvin and Magoola Farid are alleged to have been impersonated by other individuals. Despite the gravity of these allegations, the USSSA secretary has thus far only advised Kasawo to refrain from using the implicated players moving forward—raising serious concerns about the lack of punitive action.
The burning question remains: How can a school accused of blatant impersonation escape without sanctions? Many in the sports fraternity, including Seroma, argue that failure to disqualify Kasawo undermines the integrity of the competition and sets a dangerous precedent. USSSA regulations mandate strict adherence to player authenticity and fair play, and failure to enforce these rules could erode trust in the system.
With tension mounting, the USSSA-Mukono Committee’s ruling is poised to be a watershed moment in school sports governance. Will they take a firm stand against malpractice by disqualifying Kasawo, or will they allow the school to continue competing despite the serious infractions? Stakeholders and fans alike are watching closely, as this decision could shape the future enforcement of eligibility rules in school competitions.
As the sports community eagerly awaits the verdict, the case has ignited a broader debate on accountability and transparency in school sports. If justice is to be served, many believe the committee must send a strong message that rule-breaking will not be tolerated. All eyes are now on USSSA-Mukono—will they uphold integrity, or will they turn a blind eye to controversy?
