SSFA, Juba Football Association at loggerheads over city stadium status
A dispute has emerged over the ownership of the Juba National stadium between the Juba Local Football Association and the South Sudan Football Association.
On Tuesday, the Juba local football association suspended its activities following a feud with the South Sudan Football Association about the ownership of the eastern part of the stadium.
Juba National stadium was previously owned by the Central Equatoria Ministry of Youth and Sport.
But in 2018, the ministry transferred it to the Juba Local football association with aim of transferring it to the South Sudan Football Association.
In the same year, the Juba Local football association transferred its ownership to the South Sudan football association for 20 years.
The Vice President of the South Sudan Football Association, Charles Oduar explained the transfer procedures to Eye Radio on Tuesday.
“We have a document from Juba Local Football Association dated 8 May 2018 transferring Juba National Stadium to the South Sudan Football Association.”
Oduar questioned the rationale behind the argument of the Juba Local Football Association claiming the eastern part of juba stadium belongs to them, when the entire football association, SSFA is in control of the facility until 20 years.
“All the stadium belongs to them but for 20 years we are in control as the South Sudan football association until 20 years then we will give it back to them, and probably they will also give it back to the Ministry of Youth and Sports.”
