Fifa official Samoura promises more funds for Fufa after opening office

The visiting official from the World governing body was impressed with the work done by the federation and promises more support

The Federation of Uganda Football Association (Fufa) will benefit more from funds from Fifa.

This is after the visiting Fufa Secretary General Fatma Samoura pledged more financial support for Uganda's football governing body after she was impressed with the $800,000 Fifa-backed project, which includes a three-storied building and a single-storied house-styled office unit that will now become the new Fufa headquarters.

“Thank you Fufa president [Moses Magogo] for the vision and love of the game of football in Uganda, I want to assure you you have all the support of the Fifa president and the entire administration to ensure Ugandan football goes to the next level,’’ Samoura is quoted as saying by New Vision.
