History


See also: Football in Uganda

In 1924 the Kampala Football Association (KFA) was formed and in the 1950s became the Uganda Football Association (UFA). In 1967 the Uganda Football Association (UFA) was changed to the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA).[4]



Administration


FUFA is an association made up of 31 member associations and represented by 86 delegates at the Supreme Body
called the FUFA General Assembly (GA). The member associations include:



  • Uganda Beach Soccer Association (UBSA)

  • Uganda Futsal Association (UFA)

  • Uganda Schools Football Association (USFA)

  • Uganda Youth Football Association (UYFA)

  • Uganda Youth Soccer Academy (UYSA)

  • Uganda Women's Football Association (UWFA)

  • and the 8 regional football associations (see section below)


The organisation is led by the FUFA Executive Committee (EXCOM) which is advised and supported by the FUFA Standing Committees, Judicial Bodies and Secretariat.[5]



Presidents



Previous


Previous presidents are as follows:[6]











Current


The president of FUFA is Moses Hassim Magogo who succeeded Lawrence Mulindwa in August 2013. Magogo is an electrical engineer by trade and has worked for the African Development Bank. Magogo was previously the Federation's Vice President, in charge of administration.


In 2000, while playing for Kinyara FC, Magogo started to actively participate in sports talk shows on radio. That platform endeared him to the public and by the time he was elected the FUFA delegate for Lubaga, Magogo had created a niche as one of the most knowledgeable persons about football management. FUFA subsequently appointed him to run the Super League.


Magogo is accredited for having transformed the league and football competition systems in Uganda and particularly the FUFA Big League and Regional Leagues. He is also responsible for starting the players contracting regulations and system in Uganda, negotiating and concluding the various sponsorships to football.[7][8] With an assertive nature he has been a central figure in administration wrangles.[9]



Regional organisations


Eight regional football associations administer the Regional Leagues covering the third tier of Ugandan football. Affiliated members includes Regional League clubs, schools football associations and cup competitions.[10][11]











Zones and district organisations


Below the regional football associations, FUFA has divided the country into 13 administrative zones, each of which encompass several district football associations. These local associations are affiliated to FUFA and manage grassroots affairs in their districts including the Fourth Division Leagues.
