The chairperson of the local organizing committee for the 2018 FUFA Drum tournament, Rogers Byamukama is impressed about the progress for this inter-provinces tourney.
Addressing the media on Wednesday at FUFA House during a press conference ahead of match day five fixtures, Byamukama commented about the great progress for the tournament;
The FUFA Drum tournament has continued to progress for the better. As organizers, we are impressed that the tournament has attracted cultural, religious and political leaders, attracting as many people as possible. We thank the province leaders, players, fans, sponsors and the media who have supported the tournament in the best way possible.
Flanked by the FUFA Communications manager Ahmed Hussein, Byamukama also lauded the various provinces that have gone an extra mile to solicit for sponsorship through efficient community mobilization.
Most teams have been able to look for sponsorship which is a great initiative as we are also in the final stages of securing the tournament sponsorship. This tournament has also helped provinces in handling event management and it has been a plat form for FUFA administrators to meet key stake holders in the game. The FUFA Drum has a high level of organization and we shall continue to maintain the status quo.
