Newly approved FUFA Super League Limited (FSLL) boss, Arinaitwe Rugyendo has clearly put it that key of the board’s objectives is to cleanse the image of football in the country as a benchmark to attract more working partners.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony held at the Imperial Royale Hotel in Kampala on Thursday, Rugyendo stressed partners need the to build trust with football before associating.
First of all I thank the old FSLL board. This new board will bring trust back to local football as a means of maintaining existing sponsors and luring new sponsors on board.
Rugyendo used the plat form to rally for support from all the football stakeholders – fans, sponsors, media and every other personality.
Previously, I have been a mere football fan in the stands. Besides some work we did with the Uganda Cranes Initative (UCI), I have not been aligned to football management. On this note therefore, I will rely on lots of consultations.
This board is an open day door. We are always ready to interact with everybody. We want to improve on the football image, promote unity and dialogue as well.
The body has 17 share holders, 16 of whom are the premier league clubs and FUFA is the other.
The ceremony was attended by among others the federation president, Moses Magogo who preached re-conciliatory means as a mechanism of building the football brand.
Two years ago, me and Dennis Mbidde (now Vice President at FUFA) were at loggerheads, today we are here working together. Unity is needed in football for development.
Rugyendo takes over the mantle of FSLL from Hajji Abas Kawaasee Mukasa.
The new board has Arinaitwe Rugyendo as Chairman, David Serebe the vice chairman and Peter Kibazo the general Secretary.
Fred Guy Kawuma and Humphrey Mandu are the members.
