WRFA holds successful 10th Annual General Assembly
The FUFA Western Region Football Association (WRFA) on Saturday 16th September 2023 held a successful Annual General Meeting (AGM) where important resolutions were made for the progress of football in the region.
The 10th AGM was graced by FUFA 2nd Vice President Darius Mugoye who represented the FUFA president Hon. Magogo Moses Hassim. Also in attendance was FUFA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Edgar Watson and FUFA Excom members Chris Kalibala and Frank Ankunzire.
During the meeting, members took time to take the advantage of the FUFA president’s presence to raise suggestions that would help develop the sport in the region, which were welcomed and advised on accordingly. The suggestions included having part of the cerebrations to mark FUFA’s 100 years of existence staged in Mbarara, extend the FUFA TV Schools football to the western region schools, ask government to establish regional stadia, among others.
FUFA Vice President Darius Mugoye assured the delegates of a continued FUFA/government engagement to bring into place playable grounds in all regions and also a changed format of the second edition of the FUFA TV schools cup.
“I assure you that next season we shall have competition at regional level ie western Uganda chapter, central Uganda chapter, eastern Uganda chapter and others and the winners in each region meet in grand national finale to determine the national champions,” Darius Mugoye, FUFA 2nd Vice President
On infrastructure, he said
“One of the reasons as to why the president (Hon. Magogo Moses Hassim) took up to contest a political seat, was to get closer to government so he lobbies for football, football infrastructure inclusive and I can assure you he close to government even when I don’t give details, and has already started the lobbying journey.”
Mugoye also consented that there is a cordial relationship between Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Association (USSSA) and FUFA as schools are the base of football talent identification and development.
He advised the stake holders to do all it takes to avoid manipulation of football results in relation to match fixing and betting as the new sports law has come hard on the culprits.
The FUFA CEO Edgar Watson was happy to find a vibrant RFA seating and advised the FUFA delegates from the region to diligently serve their areas.
Excom member Chris Kalibala made a loud call to the stakeholders in the region to ignite an extra effort into women football development, as the sport in this category has declined in the region.
There was a round of applause when an increased 50m from 25m RFA support from FUFA, was announced, bringing the passed WRFA budget to UGX 57 million this season 2023/2024.
