After fulfilling the criteria requirements under CAF Coaching Convention, FUFA has now kicked off the campaign to provide coaching education to improve in the area of capacity building.

FUFA Statement: Unfounded Rumours

It has come to our notice that false information about positions of administration at FUFA is being generated and circulated to football stakeholders to mislead the public.

The unfounded rumours are aimed at apparently swaying football stakeholders into unsuspecting situations about the institution.

This is therefore to inform the stakeholders that FUFA is operating normally.

Stakeholders are advised to consider only information shared on FUFA official communication platforms.

It is Our Game, It is Our Country.
