Kampala: The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) has blocked an international friendly between Uganda and Kazakhstan.
The Kazakhstan FA had invited Uganda for a friendly match to take place on June 17 at the Astana Arena.
Watson said FIFA called it off because of the new rule which cannot allow a team to travel for a trip that will last over five hours and play a game less than 48 hours after their last encounter.
"It is sad the match is put off, but we need to respect these new rules," said Watson.
The Ugandan team was set to travel to use the game as a build-up before they face Tanzania on June 20 in a 2016 Africa Nations Championship qualifier.
