Sitting at Yumbe District Headquarters for the Regional Football Association Elective Assembly, the delegates boldly declared their support for Eng. Magogo.
“The current FUFA president has done a lot for our football and it would be a betrayal of the highest order not to support him. Under his stewardship, we have registered tremendous progress in youth football development, women football development and general football development. Governance has also greatly improved that’s why you see women like us are today sitting here to make football decisions for the whole of West-Nile and the country at large,’’ disclosed Ms Joan Giramia, one of the delegates elected to represent the region in the national assembly.
