KABALE – On Saturday, 20th October 2018, the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) held the 94th Ordinary Assembly in Kabale at the White Horse INN.
The 94th assembly officially admitted three new members and these included; Nyamityobora, Paidha Black Angels and Ndejje University who were promoted to the super Uganda Premier league.
As it is the norm to read out the expelled members or suspended delegates, in this year’s assembly no member was announced as expelled.
While reading out the FUFA activity report to the assembly FUFA president Eng. Moses Magogo indicated that the Federation is focused on achieving the mission of becoming the number one Nation on and off the pitch in Africa.
“We have attained several successful stories in the last years like hosting the FIFA president, the national team for U17 qualifying for AFCON among others” Magogo said.
