The Uganda Football Youth Association (UFYA) once again entrusted John Bosco Matisko and Farouk Kigongo as their delegates to the FUFA General Assembly.

Both Kigongo and Matisko were voted unopposed on Tuesday at FUFA House in Mengo, Kampala.

The duo was also confirmed as the two successful candidates by the FUFA Electoral committee member Stanley Kinene who was the returning officer of the event.

Matisko will also serve as the UFYA chairperson for the next 4 years.

He disclosed the key priority areas in the tenure;

We shall continue to serve youth football with all the passion and dedication.

This is the core and an integral part of football development.

We also want to ensure that all the existing youth football activities in the country are duly registered.

Matisko and Kigongo will thus join the other 86 delegates from the regions, schools, players, coaches, referees, Big League, women and the Uganda Premier League to participate in the 93rd FUFA General Assembly.

This assembly will be elective and shall take place on 5th August 2017 at Masindi Hotel as hosted by the Kitara region.
