FUFA has completed organising a six-day beginners’ course for young referees at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru.
The course is part of the famous two year FIFA League Development programme that was rolled out in 2022 by the world soccer governing body aimed at improving women football globally.
The project is an initiative by FUFA that was presented to FIFA but aimed at developing women league football and other areas of the game in the Country.
This particular course targeted young girls between the age of 15-20 to attract them into refereeing where they learnt skills and got knowledge about officiating matches.
The participants were selected from the eight FUFA regions; Kampala, Buganda, West Nile, Northern, Eastern, Western, North East and Kitara.
A total of thirty-two girls who were taken through the theory and practical sessions of refereeing embraced the training under the guidance of FUFA Referees Instructors Egesa Samuel (Physical Instructor) and Rahma Kizito (Fitness Instructor).
Since 2022, FUFA has benefitted from the FIFA League Development Programme with various activities organised as below;
