FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo has commended FIFA for the series of courses advanced to Uganda saying that these will be instrumental in guiding the country to a number of achievements that may even include qualification for major events like World Cup.
Magogo was speaking at the closure of a one week administration course at Njeru Technical Centre on Friday. “We can qualify for major tournaments like Fifa world cup if we continue empowering our stakeholders with relevant knowledge and information.” said the FA President. A total of 26 participants attended the course, six of whom were females.
Magogo further emphasized that such courses would also help in solving problems of politics within the game of football. “In most instances people who politicize the game are those who don’t know the laws of the game. But with such courses we shall gradually change their attitudes.” Magogo added.
He promised to change the face of football in Uganda by using the available resources. “In my term of office, I want to capacity-build human resource so that we deal with the right people in different areas related to football management and administration” he further pointed out.
