‘The FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo started the initiative of transforming the game of football and this can be done through inductions like this to our new members of staff. By asking participants to act as ambassadors and corporate with those who have no idea yet within their respective regions by tempting them to attend courses and also appreciate the value of football education and what it brings. I call upon you to put into practice what you have learnt. Share the knowledge you have acquired’ noted Mandu
