FUFA GRASS ROOTS PROGRAMME:
Saturday, 27th June 2015
Nakawa Division – At Uganda Prisons Play ground (9 a.m – Mid-day)
After the successful organization of the FUFA Grassroots football development programme in Kawempe Division last weekend, focus turns to Nakawa Division.
Over 500 young footballers, both girls and boys aged between 6 to 14 years are expected to be part of the programme whose major focus is to identify and nurture talent.
FUFA has invited pupils from several primary schools in Nakawa Division and these are Murchison Bay Primary School, Luzira Church of Uganda, Islamic Biina, St James Biina, Progressive Junior School, Saaba and Bishop Cyprian primary school.
The community outreach programme kicked off with Rubaga division (at the Busega Community play ground) before a demonstration was held at Kisubi as a pilot project on request of the Guides and Scouts movement.
The FUFA National grassroots coordinator, Willis Muwanguzi believes the programme is one way of taking the beautiful game closer to the local communities with emphasis on tapping young players from as early as 6 years.
