About UBSA/Beach Soccer League:

The Association started as Uganda Beach Football Clubs Association where a total of 9 clubs started playing the game of football “on the Sand”.

The Beach soccer Association then sought affiliation where FUFA was officially contacted.

The lime light of the game came in 2010 March when FUFA and UBFCA officially launched the game in the presence of FIFA Officials.

From that inauguration, FIFA (Sonny Bouy) and FUFA President Moses Magogo pledged full commitment to supporting this game through intensive capacity building via training coaches and referees under technical development strategy, FUFA Chief Executive Officer Edgar Watson later after this launch handed UBFCA Chairman the first Book of FIFA Laws of the Game to be used as reference for 2010 league edition.
