Radical Fufa reforms propose creation of 12-team UPL

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) has proposed a raft of reforms that will hugely affect the face of football fraternity in the country.

The reforms, if passed, will be implemented in the 2021/22 season and will see the number of Premier League clubs reduced from the current number of 16 to 12.

The Fufa Big League, Uganda's second-tier, will also be affected by the proposed reforms as it will now have 16 teams against the current number of 18.

“It is paramount new reforms are instituted to, among others, enhance the quality of clubs, increase sporting competition, improve service delivery by organizers, create better Club and League Brands, and increase revenues for both the clubs and the league,” Fufa's statement read on their website.
