Who will redeem Ugandan soccer? Is FUFA cursed?
EDITOR—Towards the end of Denis Obua’s FUFA presidency, there was a strong campaign by the ‘Save Our Soccer’ (SOS) group of young professionals to redeem Ugandan football. Every soccer lover in Uganda knew our soccer had terribly declined. The struggle saw Obua out and lawrence Mulindwa in.

The leaders of SOS were incorporated in the day-to-day running of FUFA, an idea which seemed to pay dividends until we failed to qualify for the Africa cup of Nations in Ghana.
Little did we know that Mulindwa would turn around and begin sacking the very professionals who led to his election and finally their resignation! All of us who have listened to Aldrine Nsubuga defending FUFA, Dennis Mbidde marketing FUFA, Fred Muwema pursuing legal proceedings on behalf of FUFA remain shocked and speechless!
Is FUFA cursed?
Who will ever redeem our soccer?
