The FUFA district football elections are set to take place tomorrow Sunday, April 6, 2025, with nearly 100 District Football Associations (DFAs) scheduled to go to the polls across the country.
Out of these, 58 districts have already concluded the process after producing unopposed candidates who have now been officially declared winners.
The remaining 37 districts, including major areas like Kampala, Kiboga, Masaka, Wakiso, Kisoro, and Mbarara, will conduct physical elections under the direct supervision of FUFA Electoral Officers.
The polls mark the opening phase of the FUFA electoral cycle ahead of the 2025 General Elections, and will be held across all eight FUFA regions: Buganda, Kitara, Kampala, North East, Eastern, Western, Northern, and West Nile.
Elections will be held for various leadership positions including DFA Chairman, DFA Delegates to the Regional Assembly, and representatives from Special Interest Groups such as Coaches, Players, Schools, and Referees.
FUFA Electoral Committee Chairperson, Bwire Mathias, confirmed that all logistical and administrative preparations have been finalized ahead of the weekend’s exercise.
“We are ready for the polling exercise starting this weekend,” Bwire said. “Our records indicate that some District Football Associations have unopposed candidates after a thorough verification and nomination process for different positions and will be declared winners. However, elections will only be conducted where there is competition to decide the delegates to the Regional Assembly.”
The district elections are a key component of FUFA’s broader electoral roadmap, which will culminate in the national elections on July 5, 2025, in Hoima.
