Progress on top tier League in Uganda

Reference is made on the progress of the top tier league in the Uganda Super League since the FIFA panel’s visit in Uganda on 26th June 2012 at Golf course hotel. The meeting had a FIFA led panel of Mr. Primo Carvaro, Ashford Mamelodi, Tenga Leodegar, Bob Monro and Nicholas Valticos. The FUFA Executive, club chairmen and Officials of the super league were represented. The sanctioned officials thus Mr. Kavuma Kabenge and Ebil Segawa were invited by FIFA to witness the process.

A committee headed by Mr. Kimuli Anthony composed of Clubs and FUFA representatives was constituted to embark on formulating new League Statutes and ensuring new order. A list of club chairmen was also identified, reviewed and registered with FUFA and the FIFA panel as the official link in the progress on the top tier league. It was also agreed in this meeting that no Super League activity should continue until the entire process is completed.

This whole process was to ensure that before the new league 2012-13 starts, matters of contention, governance and association football regulations are realigned.

The new League Statutes were formulated through a meeting of the chairmen of the super league clubs (as per the chairmen list obtained on 26th June 2012 at Golf course hotel) on Sunday 29th July 2012 at Hotel Africana; thirteen clubs have subscribed to the statutes.

Thirteen chairmen have also signed resolutions to incorporate a new entity called FUFA Premier League Ltd that will run and manage the FUFA Premier League. FUFA has accepted to delegate the authority to run and manage the top tier League to this new entity. The Chairmen have also resolved to maintain their obligations, considerations, and the terms of the contracts with Uganda Breweries Limited, Eco-Bank, and Super Sport.

The process of incorporation of the FUFA Premier League Ltd is currently on-going. The next course of action shall be election of the board by the clubs under the Premier League statutes before the new season begins

This process has been communicated to FIFA and the sponsors to keep them abreast of the progress and FUFA is waiting for the approval of FIFA in this regard. The Clubs, stakeholders and entire public is henceforth advised to take note of this development.
