Since we are awarding the best players of each game and of each month, it only makes sense that we also recognize the overall best players who have stood tall the entire season,\u201d the Pilsner brand manager Edgar Kihumuro noted.<\/p>\n<p>Having last been held in 2017 when Geoffrey Sserunkuma emerged MVP, the awards return with a better package according to league CEO Bernard Bainamanai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to involve all stakeholders in the determination of the winners of these awards. For some of the awards like Top Goal Scorer, Most Assists, Goalkeeper of the Season, Fair Play Team of the Season and Coach of the Season, the winners will be determined using statistics,\u201d Bainamani explained.<\/p>\n<p>He also revealed that a team comprising a technical panel, journalists and fans will then choose the other awards such as the Player of the Season, Defender of the Season, Midfielder of the Season and Young Player of the Season and the UPL Best Eleven.<\/p>\n<p>Another category of \u201cthe Players\u2019 Player of the Season and Coaches\u2019 Player of the Season which will determined by the players and head coaches has also been introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Each recipient will this time receive a special plaque and a token of appreciation to reward their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The trend is a departure from the usual norm where the UPL MVP was awarded with a car; a pattern followed with the Fufa Awards.<\/p>\n<p>Fufa Executive Committee Member, Rogers Byamukama expressed the federation\u2019s delight at development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFufa is delighted to see Pilsner Lager renew its partnership with the league and in particular to promote excellence in the game. Growing and expanding our relationships with our corporate partners is one of the pillars of developing our game and we look forward to these awards,\u201d Byamukama said.<\/p>\n<p><b>CATEGORIES TO BE AWARDED<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Player of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Top Goal Scorer of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Most Assists of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Midfielder of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Defender of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Goalkeeper of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Coach of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Young Player of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Players\u2019 Player of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Coaches\u2019 Player of the Season<\/p>\n<p>Fair Play Team of the Season<\/p>\n<p>UPL Best XI<\/p>\n<p><b>esenono@ug.nationmedia.com<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
