One of the participating coaches, Simon Kirumira of Puma United Football Club is thrilled with the course modules and he thinks this can change the face of the game in Uganda.
I want to first thank FIFA and FUFA for organizing us this course because we have learnt a lot in a space of three days and I feel am now technically revamped.
We have now learnt new modern tactics that I feel this will help us in developing good players for the future.
Remarked soft-spoken Kirumira
A practical session was held on Wednesday that involved players from BUL FC, that saw them train

The Uganda national team, largely composed of Under 23 players safely arrived back from Malawi, from where they had gone to play in the international friendly game.
Uganda lost the game 1-0 after falling to a late strike from striker Msowoya despite a brave display.
All the traveling officials and players came back safely with South African Airways on flight SA 160 at around 7:00 p.m.
The head coach, Milutin Sredojevic remains positive about the lessons learnt from this build up game.
The match exposed the youngsters to a great experience of playing away from home. We contained the Malawians well earlier on. We have picked the positives and we shall work on the negatives before the up coming CAF U-23 Qualifier against Egypt
Micho
The team will rest Wednesday before resuming training on Thursday as they start planning for a friendly against Tunisia before taking on Egypt on 18th July,2015 in Alexandria.
In my manifesto, I promised that FUFA will open up revenue streams to generate more resources for the development of the game. I am proud to report that we have made huge steps in this area although it is still work in progress. The strategy was through Brand Building and Revenue Generation
Before;
FUFA dependent on a standing committee of volunteers to look for sponsors. There was no clear KPI and targets for the committee. There was no ownership on the FUFA Trademarks. The revenue generated from sponsorship depended on what the sponsors wished to pay. FUFA had a cash value from Sponsorship of about 600m UGX annually. Only the Uganda Cranes attracted Sponsorship and Our Existing Sponsors did not have a clear point of contact inside FUFA.
Our intervention and Achievements;
Tangible Results;
The ultimate prize to all these efforts is generating more revenue. Currently FUFA is earning about 3.45 Billion UGX in Cash from our various Sponsors and Partners from 600m UGX. This is just the beginning as many deals are being negotiated by our marketing team
We can now say we are proudly Sponsored by;
The Uganda Cranes brand is endeared to many Ugandans and HE President has come out also to finance the team
We still have a lot to do be able to generate enough resources to finance our 10-yearGrand Master Plan
Potential partners-Pepsi have supported women’s football.

Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA)’s continued support of football in Uganda and the other developing countries has been further proved by the elite coaching course for atleast 30 Uganda coaches from the Azam Uganda premier league clubs and the different national football teams.
A week long course started on Monday morning at FUFA Technical Center in Njeru.
The course fully financed by FIFA is conducted by a FIFA coaches’ instructor Hatem Sausa from Tunisia.
According to FUFA Technical Director Asuman Lubowa, the course has been brought in to help coaches improve on their performance on the pitch.
We appreciate such important courses for our coaches to enable them acquire modern tactics of the game. We want them to empower themselves with more knowledge and trends of modern football
Lubowa.
The five day course is mainly attended by top class coaches from both the Azam Uganda Premier League and the national teams.
Speaking at the official opening ceremony, FIFA Instructor Hatem Sausa said he is already impressed with the participants and sounded optimistic that all the 30 participants will automatically benefit from the course in the end.
Many times African coaches have not had enough facilities when having courses but this one from FIFA is more detailed and simplified. It gives a coach all the modern aspects that can help one understand the new trends of the game.
The Tunisian FIFA instructor remarked.
On the other hand FUFA Chairman in Charge of Technical Matters who was also the chief guest was overwhelmed with FIFA’s plan of developing the game with such courses.
As FUFA, we want to see all coaches handling FUFA Super league clubs with enough technical knowledge. We shall request for more of such courses so as to avail our coaches with modern coaching methods that match with the current trend of football
FUFA Technical Chairman.

Friday’s training session only lasted 60minutes but Head coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic’s emphasis was mostly on tactical elements prior to Saturday’s game between Uganda Cranes and Tanzania at Nakivubo stadium.
The boys are in good state, no injury worries reported by close of business after their final training session at Vienna College in Namugongo.
The onus is now on the Serbian coach to name his best team to go for another massacre of their opponents on the pitch juts like they did two weeks ago in Zanzibar. Cranes carry a 3-0 goal advantage from the first leg.
Previews
The Cranes were dominated during the first 30 minutes of the first leg tie against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania at the Amaan stadium in Zanzibar but the score board had different figures which led to the departure of coach Mart Nooij. He has since been replaced by another tactician.
Uganda has constantly bullied Tanzania on variously occasions when it comes to the game of football and if you remember well Uganda beat Tanzania 4-1 on aggregate to qualify for the previous two Orange African Nations Championship finals that were staged in South Africa and Sudan. In the CECAFA championships, the story is similar with most positive results swinging in Uganda’s favor.
This time round a breed of new found players in the names of Erisa Ssekisambu and Farouk Miya led Cranes on the firing front for the battle that saw Uganda get the much needed away result in the first leg first round encounter.
Micho is keen to ensure that the Tanzanias do not enjoy early spells of the game to avoid any shocks.
Erisa Sekisambu – scorer of the two goals in the Amaan – is keen to produce similar heroics display at the War Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
‘After scoring in Zanzibar I grew in confidence and now I have a task of maintaining that to prove to my critics that I am a good player’ said Sekisambu.
‘The only weapon is to listen to what coaches tell me to do’ added Sekisambu.
Uganda has significant pedigree in the competition, participating in the past two finals in 2012 and 2014.
Micho added: “We are getting people to respect us again. We are among the best in East and Central Africa and we want more.”
Facts
• This is the fourth time Uganda is playing against Tanzania in this competition. With The Cranes winning all the previous three.
• The fixture has seen flow of goals totaling to eight in number
• If selected, Hassan Wasswa and Frank Kalanda will be the only players to have featured in all four matches. And Wasswa has captained the side in all matches
• Uganda has qualified for the finals in all the two attempts they have played in CHAN qualifiers.
