Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) deeply mourns the loss of Northern region Football Association delegate Hanningtone Okello who passed away on Thursday evening at Lira Hospital.
Okello was one of the 6 delegates representing the region in the FUFA Assembly but missed the Annual General Assembly held in Luweero last year due to the accident he suffered on 9th March, 2016 in his home district Apac.
Despite a steady recovery from the accident following treatment at Kumi Hospital, Okello suffered a serious stroke three days ago that affected the left side of his body until his death today. FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo noted with deep sorrow about the loss of Okello; We have lost an elder in football. It is sad news and a big loss to Uganda and our Member Association. Mr. Okello served football with a lot of passion and always promoted professionalism. We send our condolences to the family of Okello, Northern Region Football Association and the entire football fraternity following the demise of a man who was committed to football. Burial arrangements will be communicated.
