The Federation of Uganda Football Associations held its Extraordinary General Assembly virtually on 4th June 2026 in line with its statutes. It was chaired by the FUFA President, Hon. Magogo Moses Hassim and attended by delegates.
The Assembly was convened to align FUFA’s statutes with the requirements and recommendations of the National Council of Sports under the National Sports Act CAP 151 and the National Sports Regulations. Articles 1, 24, 36, 67, 68, 74, 75 and 91 have been adjusted.
FUFA Legal Director Denis Lukambi explained the purpose of the amendments.
‘The National Sports Regulations provide that the constitution of a national sports federation or association must include specific clauses. The way these clauses are worded in the regulations, they were effectively a copy and paste into our FUFA statutes,’ he said.
He added that gaps had been identified and addressed through the amendments.
‘There are about six clauses that were missing. These have now been resolved and submitted to the delegates of FUFA who approved unanimously all the proposed amendments to the FUFA statutes,’ he said.
On dispute resolution, he noted a key policy shift.
‘Previously, we referred disputes to the Court of Arbitration for Sport as a federation. The recommendation now is that we refer all matters relating to disputes to national sports arbitration in accordance with the National Sports Act,’ he said.
He further confirmed the next steps following approval.
‘After here, we are going to submit our statutes to the National Council of Sports for further approval so that we comply entirely with the law to be registered as a national sports federation,’ he said.
