One of the participating coaches, Simon Kirumira of Puma United Football Club is thrilled with the course modules and he thinks this can change the face of the game in Uganda.
I want to first thank FIFA and FUFA for organizing us this course because we have learnt a lot in a space of three days and I feel am now technically revamped.
We have now learnt new modern tactics that I feel this will help us in developing good players for the future.
Remarked soft-spoken Kirumira
