These are some of the facilities we believe our members need to improve on service delivery.” He remarked.

It was communicated in the General Assembly that money going to the regions would be increased in the financial year starting January 2023 but before that the Federation has already secured computer sets and office furniture to help improve efficiency in service delivery to the football community.

Kiwanuka Roberts, Chairperson UYFA
“I am so thankful to FUFA for this gesture because they are literally transforming us from analog to digital meaning, we are going to be able to do timely reporting efficiently. Documentation, transfer and archiving of data is one of the areas that has been disturbing SIGs and with the computers given I am sure that has been resolved.”
Kyambadde Livingstone, Chairperson Uganda Football Coaches Association
“We are very grateful to FUFA for finding it necessary to furnish our offices. Our work is going to be greatly improved in terms of communications since all coaches are going to be able to communicate from wherever they are digitally as necessitated in the modern game. A nice working environment like a well-furnished office is a great motivation for the people to do the work required of them.”
