A Multi-Talented Career Beyond the Whistle

Peter Kabugo’s impact on Ugandan sports went beyond his role on the field.

Known for his passion for journalism, Kabugo was an emerging voice in sports, politics, and entertainment media.

Using platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube, he shared insights on football and Ugandan society, connecting with a broad audience.

His journalistic career reflected his dedication to bringing sports closer to the fans while addressing social issues that mattered to his community.

Health and Safety Concerns for Referees

Kabugo’s untimely passing has brought attention to the demands placed on match officials and the importance of health support during high-intensity matches.

Referees and assistant referees face significant physical and mental challenges, often under high-stress environments.

Kabugo’s collapse has prompted discussions within the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) and the Uganda Football Referees Association (UFRA) on improving health protocols, especially for referees who officiate multiple games in a week.

The incident highlights the need for medical screenings and better emergency preparedness to support the well-being of officials at all levels of the game.

Remembering Kabugo’s Legacy

Peter Kabugo’s life was one of passion, dedication, and versatility.

As a referee, he was committed to upholding the integrity of the game. As a journalist, he was deeply engaged in the social fabric of Uganda.

Kabugo’s passing is a profound loss to Ugandan football and serves as a poignant reminder of the lives and passions that sports bring together.
