The five-day Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) Member Association (M.A) goalkeeping coaching course accorded to FUFA ended successfully on Friday in Njeru.
A total of 26 participants (consisting of Azam Uganda Premier League and Big league club) took part in the course held at the FUFA Technical center.
This high profile course ran from the 25th June to 1st July 2016.
It was conducted by FIFA Instructor Mr. Bob Broweays from Belgium who took the participants through theory and practical sessions through out the duration of the course.
Representing the FUFA president at the closing ceremony, the Federation Chief Executive Officer, Edgar Watson appreciated FIFA in a special way for the endeavors of promoting football in Uganda.
Today is an immense day for Ugandan Football, because what we are concluding here is the first course that FIFA holds for us, this is a very clear indication that the world body was always with us in all our endeavours for football progression.
The main objective behind the organization of this course was solely to improve the quality and quantity of our goalkeepers both men and women.
Now we do not have enough goalkeepers and as well as enough goalkeeper coaches, but I am sure that we are on the way to grow from where we are now and that actually will happen.
FIFA instructor Bob Broweays lauded the coaches for their commitment and determination to learn more skills.
FUFA Education Officer Jackson Nyima, too commended FIFA and FUFA for these marathon of courses.
At the end of the closing ceremony, all the coaches were received their certificates.
