A group of 50 vibrant football referees and 20 Referees Assessors have attended a workshop for capacity building at Masengere, Bulange in Mengo on Friday afternoon.
The workshop sponsored by FUFA and Buganda Kingdom was intended to shape match officials towards the officiation of the 2018 Masaza tournament.
During the workshop the facilitator and Chairman Uganda Football Referees Association (UFRA) Ronnie Kalema urged the officials to perform to their best and work for integrity while handling the Masaza competition.
‘The purpose of this workshop was to offer capacity building to the referees and assessors to make sure that they deliver to their best levels in the Kingdom’s Competition’
‘It is FUFA’s tendency to make sure that officiation is given to all Competitions in a fair manner and as Referees’ Department we have come out vigorously to promote integrity in whatever we are doing. We want our referees to be fit and also to perform well while handling these Competitions’ said Kalema.
The referees also acquired guidelines on psychology, analysis and tutoring from former FIFA referee Ali Tomusange, Referees’ Manager Samuel Egesa from referees Instructor Haruna Kebba.
However, the referees during the workshops promised to abide by the rules of the game at FUFA for the success of the competition.
Sports Minister of Buganda Owek. Henry Sekabembe welcomed the idea of this course.
‘This will take us far in developing the game of football through refereeing who play a key part in this competition. We are glad that FUFA has extended this capacity building to the Buganda Kingdom’ said Sekabembe.
