Deadline for StarTimes Uganda Premier League Clubs Certified CEOs looming

FUFA has directed Uganda Premier League to hold funds of clubs whose Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) do not meet qualifications.

According to Circular No. 1171, every Club Chief Executive Officer in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League was notified and required to hold a FAMACO II certificate with effect from 1st January 2024.

Of the 16 teams playing in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League only ten have CEOs that meet the set qualifications.

These are;

Joseph Mutaka – BUL FC
Simon Njuba – Vipers SC
Anisha Muhoozi – KCCA FC
Ashiraf Miiro – Express FC
Allan Munaaba – URA FC
Arnold Akankwasa – Mbarara City FC
Sula Kamoga – Wakiso Giants FC
Rodrick Muhumuza – Maroons FC
Joshua Atugonza – Kitara FC
Jonathan Okorotum – NEC FC

FUFA has noticed that Sports Club Villa, Busoga United FC, Arua Hill SC, Gaddafi FC, UPDF FC and Soltilo Bright Stars FC do not have CEOs that are in compliance with circular No. 1171

In order to enforce the club licensing compliance requirements, the six above mentioned clubs are required to immediately have qualified personnel as club CEOs and consequently make the hired CEOs principal signatories to the respective club bank accounts that receive payments from UPL for value attached from the sale of league rights.

The deadline for this is 31st January 2024. No club will receive funds from Uganda Premier League from the sale of the league rights without complying to this directive.

It should be noted that FUFA has so far organised the 1st and 2nd editions of the Football Administration and Management Course (FAMACO) Level II to address the needs of the above directive.
