FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo stressing a point. Having assumed power in 2013, the incumbent President believes he has the experience and ideas to take the game to another level given the added benefit of being a Member of Parliament.
Magogo was elected MP for Budiope East in January to the 11th Parliament.
‘I believe we have the ideas and experience. Going to Parliament helps football because there are certain things that we can only get in Parliament. We have done our first and second phase and now we want to go the third phase which is going to the 2026 FIFA World Cup’ said Magogo.
FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo listening during the Quarterly media engagement. The President stated that football should be safeguarded amidst the political tensions and promised a free and fair election process.
‘There are going to be very many political emotions, let us be aware of them and remain careful that football must continue to exist. Anybody who uses the politics to solve or to undermine football on the pitch, we shall stand up to them. There is a habit of politicians wanting to attract football into the politics. We shall come up and apply the rules and regulations irrespective of your political ambitions. We will organize free and fair elections and ensure that the rules are followed as they are.’
From Left to Right: FUFA 1st Vice President, Justus Mugisha, FUFA President, Eng. Moses Magogo and FUFA Deputy CEO-Football, Decolas Kiiza. He emphasized that the existing procedures will be followed to make sure the process is smooth and devoid of blemish right from the District to National level.
‘There is a process. There are procedures and these have been in existence for the last ten years. Let us follow the rules and condemn those who do nor follow them. The process has already started, from the Districts to Regional and then National level. If you think you want to become FUFA President, come and stand, add value, do not distort what has been achieved. Nobody is going to be victimised for intentions to stand’ He stated.
Under the reign of Mr. Magogo as President, FUFA has registered several success stories in different areas such as Governance, football development, equipment & infrastructure, National & Representative teams, Competitions, Marketing & Communications, Finance & Administration plus Membership.

FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo addressing the Members of the Committee
FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo
‘FUFA Elections are organised in accordance with the three documents that you must be conversant with. The first document is the FUFA Statutes; the people you are dealing with have read these Statutes very many times so we do not want you to be exposed after making decisions which are not in line with the Statutes. Out of the Statutes, there is the FUFA Electoral Code that is in line with the standard Electoral code of FIFA.
It is very important that you become conversant with the Electoral Code. This code and Statutes are documents that have been passed by the FUFA General Assembly which is the Supreme Legislative body of FUFA. Nobody has the mandate to change them apart from the General Assembly. Now that the last General Assembly took place, whatever we have is correct until another one takes place’
FUFA Legal Manager Denis Lukambi takes through the Committee about the Electoral Code
In order to ensure that the elections are smooth, the last document is the Electoral Guidelines done by Executive and are more operational to emphasize what is in the Statutes and Electoral Code. These three tools will help you organise free and fair elections for all’ remarked FUFA President.
