Uganda Youth Football Association spot on with sensitization program

In a bid to spread the gospel about youth football development across the country, the Uganda Youth Football Association (UYFA) started a nation-wide campaign to involve the different stake holders who are involved in the day-to-day running of grassroot football structures.

It is upon this background that the UYFA initiated the idea of spreading the message across the different corners of the country, making full use of the eight regions that constitute Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA).

From Kampala, Buganda, Kitara, Western, North East, Eastern, Northern to the West Nile regions, UYFA laid a strategy to reach the concerned parties involved in youth football.

The development comes in the wake of FUFA’s planned reforms for all football academies in Uganda.

Therefore, UYFA held a press conference earlier this week about the nation-wide sensitization programe (8th -11th September 2020) at the FUFA Special Interest Groups (SIG’s) officials in Lungujja, Kampala.

John Bosco Masiko, the chairman of Uganda Youth Football Association addressed the media flanked by other executive committee members.

Masiko retaliated the essence of the regional sensitization programme.

“The UYFA regional sensitization program is to empower all the people involved in youth football across the country.” Masiko noted.
