FUBA Drops A1 Challenge from NBL Over Alleged Fraud

A1 Challenge has reversed its decision to withdraw from all Federation of Uganda Basketball Associations (FUBA) leagues, opting instead to appeal its demotion to Division 1 over allegations of player signature forgery.

In an official statement signed by club founder and president Sayson R. Meya on March 31, 2025, the club announced that after “careful consideration and heartfelt discussions,” they have decided to challenge the ruling made by FUBA’s Competitions Council.

“The allegations of fraud and forgery are serious concerns to the board and management, and we are committed to presenting our case thoroughly in the appeal,” the statement read.

This marks the latest twist in a saga that has rocked Ugandan basketball.

Just days earlier, A1 Challenge was demoted from the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) after FUBA found that the club had forged the signatures of three players they claimed to have signed for the 2025 season.

According to a statement issued by FUBA, the affected players denied any agreement with the club.

After an investigation, the Competitions Council ruled that A1 Challenge had violated Article VII, Section 7.0.2(1) of the 2025 competition rules, which prescribes demotion for fraud-related offenses.

In the wake of their relegation, A1 Challenge initially announced their withdrawal from all FUBA competitions, bringing an abrupt halt to a 27-year legacy in the sport.

Their exit raised concerns about the future of their players, given that the registration window had already closed.

However, following overwhelming support from fans and stakeholders, the club has now backtracked on that decision.

“We have been deeply moved by the outpouring of support from our incredible fans. The phone calls, messages, and unwavering loyalty have truly touched us,” Meya stated.

A1 Challenge will now take their case to the FUBA Juridical and Appeals Council, hoping to overturn the ruling and reclaim their place in the top tier.
