Ousted regime:

The fresh interim executive replaces the old regime that was led by Didas Busingye as president, deputized by Sarah Apolot with Moses Amanyire as general secretary.

They are accused of incompetency as not organizing regular competitions, suspect accountability of funds, poor communication.

The in-coming team is expected to restore sanity into the sport as they front spreading the game to the countryside with competitions.

Some of the existing Floorball clubs in the country include; Kings, Mandela Girls Namboole, Legacy, Kisubi Mapeera, Nsambya Girls, Chosen Charity, Kamwokya, African Tigers, Mother’s Love, Kings, Giants, among others.

In Uganda, the Floorball sport was started in 2015.
