Candidates interested in the Fufa presidency start their nomination exercise today as the Fufa electoral roadmap enters the business end.
Already, all the 88 delegates that will vote at the 97th Ordinary Assembly due August 21 in Mbale City are known.
The Fufa electoral committee is expected to display the voter register, issue nomination forms and receive them between today and Wednesday.
The committee will vet the forms on Wednesday and Thursday as they handle complaints, if any arises, from the different parties up to Saturday.

For one to stand, they must be a citizen of Uganda and aged between 30 to 70 and hold a minimum of A-Level certificate. The candidate must have had football administration experience for at least seven years within the last ten.

In addition, a candidature’s nomination must be supported by one Uganda Premier League or a Big League club, at least one of the special interest groups, and one of the eight Fufa regions.

Incumbent Moses Magogo was unopposed for the current term in 2017 after his only challenger then, Mujib Kasule, failed to meet the requirements in time.
