FUFA Dissociates Itself from the ‘Association Of Sports Federations’

FUFA sent a representative to the meeting of National Sports Federations at Kati-Kati Restaurant on Thursday 10^th December 2020 and a report was made to the FUFA Executive Committee.

FUFA hereby dissociates itself from the Association formed and will consequently not be part of the activities of the formed Association.

However, in synergy with other stakeholders, FUFA will continue to advocate for more attention to the entire sports industry in Uganda from the Government and Private Sector through the National Council of Sports, Uganda Olympic Committee, Ministry of Education and Sports and the various relevant Government institutions but not creating and being part of parallel bodies.

FUFA believes that the challenges that need to be urgently addressed through appropriate channels include; Legislative bottle necks arising out of an outdated 1964 NCS Act, Insufficient funding to the sports subsector and particularly National Sports Federations, Lack of Sports Infrastructure for International, National, Regional, Village sports training and competitions and Policies that drive more private sector investments to Sports Industry.

FUFA will remain open to join efforts with other National Sports Federations using strategies and approaches that do not seem to either contradict or undermine the already existing efforts and institutions.
