In the wake of the chaotic scenes that unfolded during their recent FKF Premier League match against Ulinzi Stars, AFC Leopards has issued a stern warning to fans involved in the attack on head coach Tomas Trucha.
The incident occurred at Kinoru Stadium following a 2-0 defeat. Agitated fans stormed the pitch and targeted the technical bench. Coach Trucha was among those assaulted, prompting strong condemnation from the club’s management.
AFC Leopards has taken swift action by reporting the matter to the relevant authorities and cooperating with law enforcement to identify and prosecute the culprits. The club emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated, stating that there are appropriate channels for expressing grievances.
“To our fans, let this serve as a clear reminder: you are the heart of this club, but with that honor comes responsibilities,” the club said. “If you have concerns or grievances, we have well-established channels to raise these constructively. Hooliganism, violence, and intimidation have no place in football, and AFC Leopards will not tolerate them under any circumstances.”
The club expressed deep concern over the potential impact of such incidents on its reputation and partnerships, noting that sponsors and other stakeholders are closely monitoring the situation. To ensure accountability, AFC Leopards has identified several individuals involved in the pitch invasion and pledged to take disciplinary action, including potential bans from stadiums and club activities.
This incident comes at a time when AFC Leopards are already dealing with disciplinary issues, as three key players—Victor Omune, Kennedy Owino, and Julius Masaba—were suspended for participating in an unsanctioned match.
