“Match Officials are crucial aspect in our game and as the popularity of football continues to grow allover Uganda, the demand for them seems to be increasing day by day.” As FUFA head of referees standing committee was quoted saying It can be a very rewarding chal-lenge, encouraging a healthy life-style as well as significantly contrib-uting to the development of the game in the country. According to our FUFA Referees De-velopment Plan, which was launched in 2013 by the current FUFA leader-ship under the stewardship of the federation head Eng. Moses Magogo, set a target of doubling the number of registered referees to 1,000 by 2017? The FUFA is also a member of the CAF Referee Convention which sets the standards to be met in all areas of refereeing education and admin-istration. All referees registered with the FUFA are allocated to leagues at all levels around the country. Referees are
licensed at seven different grades and officiate from Under-age games to the Top League of Uganda up to international fixtures. “There are also a series of work-shops held locally and regionally for Grass-root Referees which cover the latest referee techniques and meth-ods.” Mr. Mpima Stresses “All referees must attend an Annual Seminar where they are tested on the Laws of the Game and other as-pects necessary to officiate at the relevant level and this is what has just happened recently in FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.” The League of Uganda Panel also actively participates in a regular se-ries of Workshops and fitness tests held nationally through the year. Many of today's top referees in Uganda are graduates of the FUFA Referee Education Program which has now taken its course by promot-ing others like assessors. All Referee education courses are facilitated by licensed FUFA Referee Instructors, CAF and FIFA.
FUFA Referee Observers throughout Uganda are constantly coaching and advising referees as they progress in Refereeing. Both Observers and Tu-tors also undergo ongoing education and training under the auspices of the FUFA like in this case. Refereeing in Uganda is overseen by the FUFA Referees Committee. Much of their work at present is focused on the roll-out of education courses across the country for existing refer-ees as well as ensuring that those wishing to become referees have access to beginners' courses and a mentoring programme as well. According to Mr. Sam Mpiima, the Head of Fufa referees standing com-mittee he emphasizes the course has been brought in to refresh referees on the new updated laws of the game. “We appreciate FIFA and FUFA for such important courses for our refer-ees to allow them refresh on the up-dated laws of the game.” said Mpi-ma.

FIFA REFEREES TU-TOR CAROLS HEN-RIQUES ON REFEREE-ING MISSION AND GOALS According to him Foot-ball is a global sport and its rules must be inter-preted and applied with absolute consistency wherever the game is played. As FIFA has a policy of ongoing train-ing for its referees to ensure that refereeing
standards continue to improve and the Laws of the Game are applied the same way everywhere as one of the Missions While speak-ing about the Goals, Mr. Carols was humble enough to summarise different views about FIFA set goals to
achieve in refereeing section as clearly point-ed out below
To organize courses and seminars for in-structors, referees and assistant referees at international, national and regional level;
To define funda-mental criteria and re-quirements for instruc-tors of referees and as-
sistant referees;
To provide up-to-date training pro-grammes and course materials;
To adopt guidelines on technical support for referees and the ap-pointment of
Refereeing trios from the same country or confederation for tournaments organised by FIFA;
To determine the tasks and responsibilities assigned to members of the Referees Committee and to advisers and in-structors at tournaments organised by FIFA;
To revise and up-date the Laws of the Game and the 'Questions & Answers' booklet under the guid-ance of the International Football Association Board, in a way that makes innovation possi-ble whilst respecting tradition;
To devise and imple-ment training pro-grammes that prepares both male and female referees for the most important FIFA tourna-ments. Carols Henriquez also
says he is optimistic
Uganda has a bright
future when it comes to
refereeing and when asked about the reason
why Ugandan referees
are not officiating in
continental premier
competitions often. He
had this to say.
“See Rome wasn’t built
in one day so now when
refereeing has con-
quered the credibility
again they instead just
need a lot of training
and support. I am quite confident that in the
next CHAN or African
Cup of Nations we will
have a number of Ugan-
dan representatives.”
Happy Henriques who
says he likes Ugandan
referees because their
hardworking he could
not hide away his ex-
citement.
“The class has been
committed and hard-
working and this is what
I have liked from Ugan-dan referees since I
started following them.”
When asked why our
officials can’t use refer-
eeing modern gadgets
mostly here in Uganda’s
football, he hurriedly
answered that basing on
the financial muscle of
fellow Member Associa-
tions.
“Look even CAF haven’t acquired all these gadg-ets. Goal-line technology is so expensive to af-
ford. But CAF knows when they can afford it
as well as FUFA too.”

UGANDA CUP 2014/15: Kyambogo’s magical run
continues, faces 7 Top flight Teams
T he beauty of all knock
out cup competitions
world over lies upon
the tagged ‘minnows’ eliminating the ‘heavy-weights’
to cause upsets.
Tales of non –league teams
ejecting elite sides have been
repeatedly scripted time imme-
morial since the Cup’s incep-tion in 1971.
Precisely, the 2014/15 edition
of the Uganda Cup has lived to
its billing that has witnessed
mouth watering clashes,
breathe taking skills, goals,
thrills and obviously, the antici-pated surprises have all lived
to pass.
The time line of this event
stretches as far back as the
last 44 years.
Worth noting, confirming the
Uganda Cup as the oldest
knock out competition in Ugan-
da.
From the preliminary round
action, already the cup has
witnessed some of the giants
survive with a narrow escape
and others ‘massacred and
buried’.
Eight time winners, Sports Club
Villa survived the jaws of elimi-
nation at the round of 64 after
Buganda regional side, Azam
F.C forced a penalty shoot out
that the Bweyogerere based
outfit eventually lost.
Express F.C, the record holders
(10 titles under their belt) were
shocked 2-1 at the round of 64
by Kitara based Airtel F.C in
Hoima.
The same team (Airtel F.C)
held Police F.C to a non scoring
draw after normal time before
bowing out to the Cops’ team 0-3 in FIFA Post match penal-
ties.
Kampala regional side, Kyam-
bogo Football club has been
the biggest revelation of the
season thus far, eliminating Azam Uganda Premier League
table
lead-
ers,
Vipers
at the
round of 64,
Rwenzori Big league favorites,
The Saints F.C (Round of 32)
and elite side, Sadolin Paints
F.C (round of 16).
Kyambogo F.C team manager,
Charles Ssemanda is well
aware of the burden of expec-
tations bestowed upon his
team.
“I respect all the teams re-
maining in the cup but, we are
unfazed by the mere names.
We shall give in our best, all
the way” Ssemanda re-affirms to FUFA MONTHLY.
Kyambogo F.C will dwell on
inspirational pillars that include
goal keeper Joseph Etyang,
midfield icon Remsey Kintu and
striker, Brian Kayemba.
Biggest Score So Far:
Rwenzori based FUFA Big
league side, The Saints F.C
hold the record of this year’s biggest score line 1-12 away in
Masindi
against
regional
side,
Steel
F.C. In the
other
impres-
sive
score line
recorded,
Umar
Kasumba
and
Umar
Bulega
each scored a hat trick to com-
bine 6 goals for Police F.C
against Big league side, Baza
Holdings at Kawanda in the
round of 16 engagement.
2014/15 Favorites:
SC Villa and KCC have both
won the cup 8 times and will
be aiming for the unprecedent-
ed 9th title.
Another previous winner,
Sports Club Victoria University
(winners in 2013/14 edition)
cannot be left out of the box
given the fact that they boast
of the second top scorer, Fahad
Tokko (5 goals), one behind
top scorer, Fred Kyambadde
(of The Saints F.C). Uganda Revenue Authority
(URA), winners of the 2013/14
edition have been since elimi-
nated by Kampala City Council
at the round of 16.
The winner of the Uganda Cup represents the country at the
CAF Confederations Cup.
Teams in the Quarter Fi-
nals:
Kyambogo University, KCC, SC
Villa, Lweza, SC Victoria Uni-versity, Bright Stars, Police and
Jinja side, BUL F.C remain the
last 8 teams still in contention.
Quarter Final Dates:
The quarter finals shall be held
between 12th -19th April 2015.
In case of a draw, the teams
will play the extra-time and if
the result still persists, then
FIFA post match penalties will
decide the fixture outcome.
Can Kyambogo Football Club
claim their first?
Only time will tell.

UGANDA SAND CRANES: The
Start of a Long Achievable Trek
CAF Beach Soccer Qualifiers (2015)
First Leg: Uganda Sand Cranes 6-9
Ghana Black Sharks
Second Leg: Ghana Black Sharks 12-2
Uganda Sand Cranes
Aggregate Scores: Uganda Sand
Cranes 8-21 Ghana Black Sharks
For the first time in the history of
Uganda’s beach soccer, Uganda partici-
pated in an international competition.
This was during the two legged CAF Beach
Soccer qualifier against the Ghana Black Sharks home and away.
Uganda lost 6-9 at Sports beach Entebbe
and 12 -2 in the first and return legs re-
spectively.
Although the Uganda Sand Cranes lost in
both legs, there are plenty of positives
from the engagements. “We gained a lot from the trip experience
wise and technically. There are lots of
aspects we learnt from the two CAF
matches against Ghana. Positional sense,
flipping the ball, attack and defence as
well as space utilization were key points
we learnt from the West African oppo-
nents” Sand Cranes coach, Harunah
Kebba told FUFA MONTHLY.

Sand Cranes at home. Somoka and Baker
