In a bid to strengthen the communications department, Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has started a new station called FUFA Radio on the frequency 102.1.
Addressing the journalists from the different media houses during the weekly press conference in Mengo, FUFA president, Eng. Moses Magogo said the radio is to help boost the FUFA Communications department.
‘102.1 FUFA Radio will basically educate, inform, entertain and help in the promotion of FUFA Commercial purposes and the game. The radio operations take immediate effect’ said Magogo.
The FUFA President further said ‘the acquisition of the this media platform will help us position our brand to the masses beyond what happens on the football pitch’
Eng. Magogo also explained that the radio, whose radius coverage is 80KM was a project passed by the FUFA General Assembly in Lira.
The project comes after the world’s football body-FIFA offered each of the 209 national federations a financial offer from the revenue fetched from the 2014 World Cup.
FUFA has already started recruiting personnel for the new establishment Radio 102.1 FM.
