Fufa President Eng. Moses Magogo has requested the government to develop and assume full management of sports infrastructure.
The Football boss was speaking at a state banquet hosted by the President of Uganda, H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni at Entebbe State House on Thursday afternoon.
“Your Excellency, there are challenges of FUFA and Uganda Cranes that we request you can handle like the old sports law; Poor infrastructure and the need for central management of the facilities,” said Magogo.
The Sports industry in the country has suffered due to lack of facilities for training and hosting national/international events.
Currently the national team can only use Namboole for international fixtures because it is the only facility approved at global standards.
This was the first time the president was hosting the gallant national team after qualifying the country for the Africa cup of nations in 38 years.
“Uganda Cranes is now a largely established country among the football giants in this country. The AFCON qualification also boosted the country in many aspects of life.”
Magogo also welcomed the first lady Janet Museveni to her new role as the Minister of Education and Sports.
“Mama Janet we welcome you to the ministry of education and sports. As football people, we love you.”
