The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) successfully concluded the FUFA–UPL Club Licensing Workshop for the 2026/27 season on Tuesday at FUFA Stadium, Kadiba.
The workshop brought together club officials from all 18 Uganda Premier League clubs to discuss the latest club licensing requirements, timelines and compliance measures ahead of the new season.
The engagement focused on the implementation of the FUFA Men’s Club Licensing Regulations and the various criteria clubs must fulfil as part of the licensing process. Key areas included sporting, infrastructure, administrative, legal and financial requirements aimed at strengthening professionalism and improving standards across Ugandan football.
Speaking after the workshop, Blacks Power FC Chief Executive Officer Edison Sabasaba welcomed the engagement and encouraged clubs to embrace the evolving licensing framework.
‘This has been a great reminder of our club professional agenda that we have had before. Going into club licensing means a lot for each club. There are a lot of things that have changed and there are new parameters and criteria. The emphasis is to change the game and when rules come like this, the most important thing is to embrace them so that we can achieve the objectives we want.’
