The Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA) has strongly criticized FUFA President Moses Magogo over his recent comments dismissing concerns about high matchday ticket prices.

In a statement issued in response to Magogo’s remarks, USPA labeled his words as “disrespectful and degrading” to sports journalists.

Magogo had earlier accused journalists of fueling the narrative that ticket prices were too high for fans, arguing that those questioning the prices enjoyed free access to Namboole Stadium.

He further alleged that a small group of individuals, “no more than 10,” were being paid to push an agenda under the guise of journalism.

USPA firmly rejected these accusations, stressing the crucial role the media plays in promoting professionalism and accountability in Ugandan sports.

“Disparaging comments against journalists only serve to deepen divisions and impede progress,” the statement read.

The association reminded FUFA that journalists are not adversaries but partners in advancing Ugandan football.

They highlighted the media’s role in informing the public, celebrating sporting achievements, and holding administrators accountable—functions essential for a thriving sports industry.

In a bid to ease tensions, USPA confirmed that discussions are underway with FUFA to resolve the issue amicably. The association expressed optimism that these talks would help restore a cooperative relationship built on mutual respect and shared goals.

The controversy over ticket prices arose after Uganda Cranes’ recent match against Guinea, which saw noticeably lower attendance at Mandela National Stadium.

Many fans took to social media to express frustration over the increase in ordinary ticket prices from Shs25,000 to Shs30,000. Magogo defended the hike, citing inflation and rising operational costs.
