About the Ordinary FUFA General Assembly:
The Ordinary FUFA General Assembly is the supreme and legislative body of football in Uganda, comprised of 34 members (Associations) represented by 88 delegates.
The Assembly takes place annually, where delegates convene to review activities carried out in the previous twelve months and plan for the future.
According to Article 21 (2) of the FUFA Statutes and Regulations, the FUFA President conducts business at the General Assembly in compliance with the standing orders.
Some of the key areas addressed in the FUFA Ordinary General Assembly include activity reports, financial statements, approval of budgets, admission of new members, and dismissal of members, among others.
Prior to the Ordinary FUFA General Assembly, all Member Associations convene independent annual assemblies in accordance with the FUFA Statutes. This allows resolutions and reports from Members Associations to be agreed on before they are presented in the FUFA General Assembly for discussions.
