UBSA held its 10th ordinary AGM on Saturday at Buganda Royal Institute in Mengo, Kampala.
In his remarks, the chairman of UBSA, Deo Mutabazi indicated the journey has had both highs and lows but he is proud that the game has managed to wither through the storm.
“If you look at how we started, there is definitely a reason to be proud. There were challenges at the beginning but the success attained over the years is a basis for us to be proud.” He said.
“We set up competitive leagues for both men and women, it is the reason why every day the association becomes strong in Uganda but even with our neighbors in the region,” Mutabazi added.
FUFA EXCO Member, Ronnie Kalema who represented President Eng. Moses Magogo as the guest of honor lauded UBSA for remaining committed to developing the game.
“As FUFA, we laud UBSA for the efforts in promoting the game both in Uganda and the region at large ., FUFA is committed to improving the game both on and off the pitch now the emphasis is on infrastructure development in all the eight football regions .”
FUFA Deputy CEO- Service, Humphry Mandu who also graced the function asserted that the Federation is committed to helping the game make strides in every aspect.
“From humble beginnings, beach soccer has made steady progress and with the support of FUFA, we are confident that the future is bright.”
The assembly announced a budget of UGX 291,180, 000 for the year 2022/2023.
