The build-up to the 2025 FUFA General Elections begins this weekend with district-level football elections scheduled for Sunday, April 6, across Uganda.
Organized by the FUFA Electoral Committee, the district elections represent the first step in a nationwide electoral process that will culminate in the installation of new football leadership, from the grassroots to the national level.
In recent weeks, the nomination process was conducted at various levels, leading to the confirmation of candidates for each contested position. While some candidates will face off at the ballot, others have already secured their positions unopposed.
Each District Football Association (DFA) will elect five officials. In line with FUFA statutes, at least one of those elected must be a woman, in a bid to promote gender inclusion in football governance.
According to the FUFA Electoral Committee, the elections will be conducted across all districts on the same day, with results expected immediately after voting. The regional-level elections will follow in line with the official roadmap.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s polls, FUFA Electoral Committee Chairperson Mathias Bwire emphasized the importance of transparency and inclusivity in the process.
“These elections are a critical step in ensuring credible and representative football leadership across the country. We are committed to running a fair, inclusive, and efficient process at every stage,” said Bwire.
The entire electoral exercise will conclude with the national elections scheduled for July 5, 2025, in Hoima.
