Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) is one of the 51 sports federations in the country duly registered under the National Council of Sports (NCS).
FUFA’s vision spells out in bold, and aloud “To be the best footballing country in Africa, on and off the field of play“.
In a bid to promote the image of the game at all times, FUFA has further beefed up the respective judicial bodies.
This was one of the resolutions arising from the recommendations following the much publicized commission of inquiry into malpractices marring football in Uganda.
Former Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA) president Mark Namanya is one of the new faces suggested for the FUFA Appeals committee.
Namanya joins another former USPA Sabiiti Muwanga on the same committee which is chaired by Diana Nabuuso.

FUFA’s 22nd Executive Committee meeting confirmed Namanya alongside other members on the other sub judicial committees.
