Eng. Moses Magogo has been re-elected as President of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) for the 2025–2029 term, extending his leadership of the sport’s top governing body into a fourth consecutive term.
The announcement was made following the FUFA General Assembly, where both voting and non-voting stakeholders overwhelmingly endorsed Magogo’s continued stewardship, citing his proven track record and vision for the future of Ugandan football.
In his post-election address to stakeholders, Magogo expressed deep gratitude for the renewed mandate, calling it both an honour and a challenge to take the sport to new heights.
“For the past 12 years, I have committed my life to football,” he said. “With your support, we’ve turned dreams once thought impossible into today’s reality. Now, we begin a new chapter—one of consolidation, innovation, and bold ambition.”
Magogo’s leadership has seen landmark achievements, including Uganda’s return to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the professionalisation of local leagues, the rollout of the FUFA Drum regional tournament, and improved technical development across the football ecosystem.
His vision for the new term rests on five key pillars:
- Sport – Full implementation of the FUFA Technical Master Plan and strategic reforms to strengthen competitions.
- Business – Driving revenue generation, ensuring fair compensation for all actors, and enhancing FUFA’s brand value.
- Major Tournaments – Capitalising on Uganda’s joint hosting of CHAN and AFCON 2027 to transform infrastructure and visibility.
- Stakeholder Engagement – Fostering deeper collaboration with clubs, government, sponsors, and fans.
- Consolidation – Building on past gains while tackling emerging challenges such as limited resources, negative mindsets, and integrity threats.
Magogo acknowledged that while much has been achieved, key challenges remain—especially in revenue sustainability for clubs and player welfare.
“Football is no longer just a game; it is an industry. We must treat it as such—professionally, commercially, and strategically. The next four years will focus on unlocking the full potential of Ugandan football,” he said.
His re-election has drawn praise from several quarters, with many stakeholders expressing optimism about the federation’s direction under his continued leadership.
As FUFA now turns its focus to the 2027 continental tournaments, Magogo’s new term is expected to usher in critical reforms aimed at deepening the professional structure of the game and positioning Uganda as a serious footballing nation on the African continent.
