‘It is always a pleasure to come here and give updates as far as the FUFA Drum tournament is concerned. We have reached a stage where the boys have been separated from men. We would like to thank all the Provinces that participated in the group stages and congratulate all the teams that made it to the quarterfinals.  The organizers and FUFA are excited with the growth of the FUFA Drum Competition in the first season. All the remaining match day fixtures will be live on TV up to the final. We thank UBC for accepting to work with us in airing the FUFA Drum matches’ said Byamukama

He added that the committee has learnt a lot during the group stages and has worked upon the challenges with suitable solutions ahead of the knock out fixtures.

Byamukama also noted that a plan has been drawn for all the games to start on time, played to full time duration and completed without any negative occurrence.
