Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) in conjunction with the Uganda Premier League organ and the 16 elite premier league clubs have embarked on the road to formulate a 10 year club football development plan.

On Saturday, 19th March 2016, a follow up workshop specifically for the clubs commenced at the FUFA Technical center.

Chief facilitator, Moses Magogo took the club chairmen and CEO’s through the steps streamlined to ensure improvement of the football quality (product), packaging, promotion and pricing.

‘Club football is key of the main pillars upon which football development is bent. We are in Njeru to formulate a 10 year development plan for Uganda’s club football’ Magogo clarified.

Club coaches, chairmen, CEO’s and a selected section of the media brain stormed various ideas at hand intended to help the development of club football.

Some of the areas being discussed at the club football symposium are; club structures, finance (expenditure and generation), Competitions, rules and regulations, Player development and management, Human Resource, facilities and equipment, marketing, fans’ development, Communications and event management.
