FUFA President Hon. Magogo Moses Hassim has extended his heartfelt congratulations to URA FC following the club’s historic recognition by FIFA for submitting a winning strategic plan proposal.

This achievement comes after URA FC participated in the FIFA Club Management and Professionalisation Programme held at Golden Tulip in Kampala, 2024, where they were certified by both FUFA and FIFA alongside other Ugandan clubs in the Uganda Premier League.

As part of the programme, each participating club was required to submit a strategic plan proposal in a particular area of interest. URA FC’s proposal stood out among dozens from clubs around the world, earning them a spot among the programme’s winners.

FIFA’s communication, sent by Picalló Aguilar Marcos, FIFA Senior Professional Football Manager and Development, to URA FC CEO Allan Munaaba, read in part:

‘We are pleased to announce the two winning submissions: ASEC Mimosas (Côte d’Ivoire) and URA FC (Uganda). We will be contacting the winning clubs shortly to coordinate their invitation to our upcoming Club Management Network Session in New York.’

As winners, URA FC will receive support, as determined by FIFA, to implement their approved strategic plan. This support will enable the club to further develop its professional capabilities and drive growth.
