The FUFA Chief Executive Officer Mr. Edgar Watson has issued a circular on key decisions that were taken during the 20th FUFA Executive Committee meeting on 25th May 2019 in Masaka at Brovad Hotel. The meeting chaired by the FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo and attended by all the Executive Members reviewed various matters concerning Governance with FUFA Membership. Here are the key decisions taken and must be implemented with immediate effect;
- Kirinya Jinja S.S.S FC
Kirinya Jinja S.S.S FC request to change the club name to Busoga United FC was approved.
- Northern Region Football Association (NRFA)
- Mukidi David Kalyebara’s request to resign as Chairman of Northern Region Football Association was granted but will remain a FUFA Executive Committee Member.
- Aware that several districts in the NRFA did not participate in the Regional FA previous Elections thus leading to inequitable representation of active DFAs & Clubs hence leading to constant Governance disorder. In consideration of the above, the FUFA Executive Committee decided that elections be organised in accordance with the FUFA Electoral code by 1st July 2019 for the following Governance bodies.
- Delegates to the NRFA Regional Assembly.
- Executive Committees of the DFA’s within the NRFA
- The Executive Committee of the NRFA
- The scope of these Elections shall not affect the Delegates of the NRFA to the FUFA General Assembly unless such position is vacant.
- The General Secretary of NRFA shall continue to operate the administrative work.
- Other FUFA Regional Associations (RA) and Special Interest Groups (SIGS)
- For the rest of the FUFA Regional Football Associations and/ or Special Interest Groups Associations, the FUFA Executive decided that they should hold elections to fill the vacant positions in their upcoming Ordinary General Assemblies for 2019.
- Furthermore the RAs and SIGs are required to update and amend their Statutes in line with the FUFA Statutes and good Governance principles during their General Assemblies of 2019.
