FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter has approved a women Football Com-Unity course for Uganda to run in Kampala between July 10-13 this calendar year.
The decision by the international football body has been received with a big applause from Uganda, a member association to FIFA. Ugandan FA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Edgar Watson Ssuubi has described the development as being timely to the federation demands and more particularly to women football development.
This is the first time a Com-Unity course is coming to Uganda since its inauguration by the FIFA President. Com-Unity is a FIFA presidential programme whose main purpose is to improve awareness of the value football can have in a country.
The course is further intended to improve cooperation and communication between a member association, its Government, Non Governmental Organizations, the media and other partners. The programme also distributes knowledge on communication and marketing skills to help member associations attract partners and sponsors.
FUFA CEO, Edgar Watson has said that the course in Uganda will mainly focus on women Football Development. Participants will be drawn from Government, FUFA, sponsors, the media and NGOs relating with women football.
An instructor from FIFA M/s Kelebogile Mosimanewapula is expected in Kampala next week to discuss and lay strategies for the success of this three day great seminar
