CAF Club Licensing Workshop:
22rd – 26th April 2019
At Sheraton Kampala Hotel
For being a model federation as far as the club licensing is concerned on the entire African continent, Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has reaped big.
Uganda has been confirmed as the host for a high profile CAF club licensing workshop.
The workshop will be conducted in two batches, the first starting on 22nd – 23rd April and the second on the 25th – 26th April 2019.
Both workshops will be held at Sheraton Kampala Hotel, where 52 participants coming from 26 countries have been duly confirmed.
It will be the third time that Uganda is hosting CAF organized sanctioned events in a space of one year.
FUFA Club Licensing Chairman Rogers Byamukama confirmed the latest developments during the weekly press conference at FUFA House in Mengo, Kampala on Wednesday.
Byamukama was joined by the federation club licensing manager Ivan Kintu Bayige during the press conference.
After successfully hosting the CAF Junior Referees programme and the meeting for CAF futsal and beach soccer committee, CAF has once again entrusted FUFA with yet another opportunity to host another CAF workshop. This is the confidence that CAF has in Uganda. We have prepared well to host the the CAF Club Licencing Workshops. Hosting all these delegates across the continent is a strong message to the Government that sports is a key driver of tourism in Uganda. These delegates will be accommodated in Uganda, they will spend and contribute to foreign revenue

CAF is trying to make sure football organisation spreads further to clubs at all levels by holding such educational sessions that improve the beautiful game
In September 2018, FUFA hosted 41 participants who took part in the CAF Young Talent Referees workshop that attracted the youngest international referees on the continent.
Early 2018, CAF Futsal and Beach Soccer committee held its meeting in Entebbe.
The Club Licensing workshop will be segmented into two groups over two periodical sessions.
Each country will send the Club Licensing Manager and Chairman of the Club Licensing Committee.

- Assist the MAs with near future planning, in order to have clubs ready before the deadline for engagement in the next CAF Inter Club competitions
- Organize interaction group sessions between MAs to share best practices.
More about club Licensing:
Club Licensing is a tool for both the development and bench-marking of professional football clubs. Under the Club Licensing System, clubs need to comply with certain criteria to participate in FUFA/CAF/FIFA competitions.
The FUFA Club Licensing exercise makes sure that clubs are complying with the criteria before they are issued with licenses to play at the start of every season.
- By implementing the Club Licensing System football clubs benefit by:-
- Developing strong governance and organizational structures
- Implementing stable financial management and reporting
- Improving technical standards of coaches and clubs
- Increasing reliability, credibility and integrity of the clubs and league
- Promoting and continuously improving the standard of football
- Engaging qualified coaches
- Encouraging youth development
- Improving infrastructure facilities
- Improving the clubs’ administration, management and organisation.
- Raising economic and financial standing of the clubs through effective marketing and commercial exploitation.
