Following a meeting between the FUFA Executive, UPL clubs, and the UPL Board, 11 clubs that attended had fruitful discussions on Tuesday, 26th August 2025 at FUFA House in Mengo.
All 11 clubs agreed it was great to see the federation seek more resources from various sources to improve club football but also made a request to increase the funding.

- Insurance of players
- Prize money
