The course was officially opened today by the Jinja District sports officer Mr. Patrick Lukalu.
Lukalu who was a goal keeper during his playing days with Nytil FC praised FUFA for the course.
‘You are part of the history which has the first group to undergo this course in Uganda. I am really impressed with such structures. I must appreciate the decisions taken by the FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo’ said Lukalu as he addressed the participants inside the new conference hall at the FUFA Technical centre.
‘I encourage you -participants to take this course as a major tool that will change the face of our game in the country’ added Lukalu.
FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo cautioned the clubs that have not sent their representatives to the curse.
‘It was a decision taken by the FUFA Executive that all clubs next season must have Chief Executive officers. It will be one of the requirements for club licensing. Whoever doesn’t meet the standards will not be registered next season’ said Magogo a FIFA trained instructor.
Magogo further said FUFA Executive’s desired objective for this course is to develop a group of football administrators who can manage and develop the resources required to achieve substantial football programmes at club level.
