Following a meeting between the FUFA Executive, UPL clubs, and the UPL Board, 11 clubs that attended had fruitful discussions on Tuesday, 26th August 2025 at FUFA House in Mengo.
All 11 clubs agreed it was great to see the federation seek more resources from various sources to improve club football but also made a request to increase the funding.
FUFA agreed to the request and approved the significant increment in funding from 2.5 billion UGX to 3.4 billion UGX annually to support changes through the FUFA Club Development Reforms programme. This funding would cover:
- Insurance of players
- Prize money
- Recruitment of more staff at the UPL Secretariat
- Media and marketing of UPL
- Locker room bonus (for every win in the league)
- Cash support for clubs
The 11 clubs that attended are: BUL FC, URA FC, Maroons FC, Express FC, UPDF FC, Police FC, Mbarara City FC, Lugazi FC, Entebbe UPPC FC, Calvary FC and Buhimba United Saints FC
