The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) will convene its 101st Ordinary General Assembly in Hoima, Kitara Region, from Friday 4th to Saturday 5th July 2025. The gathering brings together the football fraternity from across the country to evaluate FUFA’s progress, make key governance decisions and align on strategic priorities for the future of the game.
The General Assembly remains FUFA’s supreme decision-making body, composed of 88 voting delegates who represent a cross-section of football stakeholders. These include 16 delegates from 1st Division League clubs, 5 from the 2nd Division League, 2 from the National Women Football Leagues, 48 from the FUFA Regional Football Associations and 17 from FUFA Special Interest Groups. This structure guarantees inclusive representation and ensures that voices from all sectors of the game are heard.
Delegates and Executive Committee members will begin arriving in Hoima on Friday morning and check in at Hoima Resort Hotel. The opening day will involve registration, scheduled meetings and a guided tour of Hoima Stadium. The inaugural FUFA Stakeholders’ Cup will take place in the afternoon, followed by scheduled media engagements and a dinner party.
Saturday will begin with the registration of delegates at 7:00 AM, followed by breakfast, group photo sessions by regions, SIGs and clubs and the distribution of delegate packs. Delegates will also submit the required documents to FUFA Secretariat staff and take part in flash interviews coordinated by the FUFA Communications Department and FUFA Tv.
Invited guests are expected to arrive at 8:45 AM, ahead of the official commencement of the General Assembly at 9:30 AM. Lunch is scheduled for 2:30 PM, with a media session involving interviews and photography set for 4:00 PM before the formal departure of delegates and guests.
The General Assembly holds significant authority within FUFA’s governance framework. Its powers include amending the statutes and associated regulations, approving the budget, financial statements and activity report, electing or dismissing members of the Executive Committee, judicial bodies, Electoral Committee and Audit and Compliance Committee, and appointing independent auditors.
It also has the mandate to admit, suspend, or expel members, fix membership subscriptions, establish commercial legal entities under FUFA, and decide on honorary titles. Decisions passed by the General Assembly are only valid if a majority—more than 50%—of voting delegates are present.
