The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has officially released its 2025 Capacity Building Calendar, a strategic and comprehensive guide aimed at strengthening the technical and administrative competencies of football stakeholders across the country.
The calendar, which outlines an extensive schedule of courses from January to December 2025, was shared in a circular addressed to all football stakeholders by Mr. Kiiza Decolas Hantali, the Deputy CEO in charge of Football.
Objectives of the Calendar
The initiative is rooted in three major objectives:
- To guide course organisers on the quarterly availability and structure of training programs for better planning and execution.
- To assist stakeholders, especially potential participants, in planning their involvement in upcoming FUFA-accredited courses—even for those who missed earlier sessions.
- To enhance communication and awareness around FUFA’s ongoing capacity-building efforts.
