Paidha United Fc, a West Nile Regional League Cub based in Paidha Town Council, Zombo District has been restructuring its management team and as well sharpening its squad for the new season.
The comrades, who finished 8th on the 12 team log last season had a poor start to the season, which went on persistently for the most of the first half of the season, but thanks to a spirited second leg fight back which saw them drift out of the red zone and into safety.
As part of preparation for next season, the comrades have already made a couple of signings and have added some new faces to their technical bench as well. The club has re signed their former coach Abraham Nega Ogussi, a CAF-C lincesed coach who previously had 2 distinctive stints with the club reigning from 2017-2018 and 2023-2024 is back at the club again for the 3rd time and will be assisted by the club’s assistant coach Oyirwoth Dickens Decko.
