Moses Magogo has been re-elected unopposed as the president of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA).
The 44-year-old politician, who succeeded Lawrence Mulindwa as FUFA president in 2013, has now won a third term of office that will come to an end in 2025.

By retaining the Fufa presidency, Magogo becomes the longest-serving Fufa president, surpassing the body’s first leader, Kabaka Daudi Chwa, who reigned for 10 years.
Magogo told delegates:“Thank you yet again for another opportunity. It is an emotional moment knowing how far we have come. The next four years will definitely be about consolidating what we have achieved so far and igniting the next gear.
“The leadership at FUFA is driven by the desire to deliver football to all stakeholders irrespective of any prevailing situations.
“The past two terms of our administration have witnessed evolution of the game both on and off the field in terms of delivery at administrative, management and technical levels. History has been written and tears of joy have been witnessed.”
