I would like to congratulate the football fraternity for successfully hosting their 101st Ordinary General Assembly in Hoima. I also want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to my dear husband, Hon. Eng.
, for being re-elected unopposed as FUFA president. This vote reflects the confidence that the fraternity has in you and your team for spearheading infrastructure development, advocating for increased funding to the sports sector, supporting talent development, pushing for legislative reforms to facilitate sports administration, and leading the Cranes to AFCON. Most importantly, it acknowledges your efforts in working with the government for a successful bid to co-host AFCON in 2027 and CHAN in August 2025. Congratulations to you and your team at FUFA for all your achievements, and I wish you even greater success in the coming years.
Dear Football Stakeholders,
It is my great pleasure to congratulate you on the support you have given to football. Both internal and external stakeholders have played a significant role in shaping the trajectory of our sport in recent years. Success is what we all work for in life.
I am proud to say that our administration has achieved numerous success stories, making FUFA leadership look effortless.
In 2013, certain things seemed impossible, but today they have become basic. Our success has been defined by the Know-How that we have acquired by training and experience, the hours we have committed to the game, the self and institution discipline that we have exhibited, driven by our passion, hunger to succeed and thereafter the Will of God.
We have introduced innovations and engineered changes that some thought were impossible or not priorities. The outcome has vindicated our efforts.
Football is a rapidly evolving industry that demands attention to detail. It is time to focus on collective progress rather than assigning blame or taking credit. The game requires positive energy and collaboration from all of us.
Despite our successes, challenges persist that require strategic attention. We have created a platform to professionalise and commercialise the game and club football needs more revenue to sustain itself and compete internationally.
With improved infrastructure, now is the right time to drive change and generate more resources.
Over the past 12 years, I have dedicated myself to football, sacrificing my private and professional life. I am proud of my contribution and have an even greater desire to continue working with your support to generate more resources for the game.
It is my singular honour to ask all the voting and non-voting stakeholders of the game to support my candidature and my administration, if voted, for the mandate of FUFA President 2025-2029.
My vision for FUFA’s future is built on five key pillars;
- Sport – Implement the FUFA Technical Master Plan and competitions reforms.
- Business – Prioritise revenue generation, ensure fair compensation and enhance our brand.
- CHAN and AFCON 2027-hosting big tournaments will be a game changer for Ugandan football
- Stakeholder engagement – for support of our programmes and initiatives.
- Consolidation of achievements as we have made significant progress.
We will also address addressing challenges like inadequate resources, mindset and vices threatening the game’s integrity which obstacles we must overcome.
I am confident that together, we can unlock the full potential of Ugandan football and build a brighter future for our sport and nation.
