Fufa sets two-year women's football plan after receipt of Fifa funds

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) has unveiled a two-year strategic plan to develop women's football in the country.

The development comes just days after the Ugandan ruling body confirmed receipt of a $500,000 grant for the development of women's football from world football governing body Fifa.

In a statement, Fufa's CEO Edgar Watson disclosed to the body's website: "Fufa has received the Fifa grant of USD 500,000 that was allocated through the Covid-19 relief plan for the development of women's football."

With the above in mind, Fufa had launched the ‘Take Flight Project’ in a bid to develop women’s game in Uganda for the next two years.
