Football brings people together, builds friendships and creates a sense of belonging. โฝ๐
I am delighted that members of Navigating Sanctuary Life had the opportunity to attend the Celtic FC v Kilmarnock match on 8 November 2026 as part of our Togetherness Builds Wellbeing project.
Many thanks to the Celtic FC Foundation and the generous Celtic supporters living overseas who donated the tickets to make this experience possible.
Rwanda never announces such partnerships at such developmental levels, but whoever bewitched us with announcements killed the whole country! Surprise us! Thatโs if this is even true!
FUFA President latest initiative of meeting directly with @UPL club fans, the same fans he has always labelled external stakeholders of the game raises serious concerns.
This is not fan engagement. This is third party interference in club affairs, and it violates the FUFA Statutes he swore to uphold.
Article 10(5)(h) - A Club applying for admission must declare it has the ability to make decisions independently of any external entity.
Article 13(m) - Members must manage their affairs independently and ensure that their own affairs are not influenced by third parties.
Violation of 13(m) may lead to sanctions even if the third party influence was not the fault of the Member concerned with sanctions not short of losing their Licence.
Article 17(1) - Each Member shall manage its affairs independently and with no influence from third parties.
All these rules mean one thing: The administration and management of football clubs is a strict preserve of the Clubs themselves.
When the FUFA President bypasses clubs leadership , the Chairmen, CEOs and Executive Committees and goes directly to mobilise their fans, that is interference by a third party. It is an affront to the spirit of the FUFA Statutes and to internal governance principles.
Why now? Why is he suddenly interested in fans?
Because the @NCSUganda1 Council of Sports has empowered clubs and strengthened their financial independence and threatened his traditional control over clubs from FUFA House.
This is not about listening to fans. His previous encounters with fans have always had a hidden agenda to mobilise fans against club leadership that disagrees with him on how he manages football affairs.
Fans are the heartbeat of football, but they are NOT a parallel management structure. A FUFA President has no business creating a direct line to fans to undermine duly elected club leaders.
If he truly respects the Statutes, he should meet clubs through their official leadership but not to use fans as a weapon.
The clubs must protect their independence. Article 17 is clear.

Ugandaโs Tourism Marketing Needs Strategy, Not Stunts.
With due respect to the Ugandan Embassy in Berlin, I have to ask: How desperate has our country become?
Signing a 3-year deal with an 8th Tier (Bezirksliga) amateur club in Berlin to market "Explore Uganda."
This is not strategy. This is a cheap, embarrassing copy-paste of @RwandaisOpen 's "Visit Rwanda" model with Arsenal, PSG and Bayern Munich.
Rwanda went for elite global visibility. We have gone for a district league club whose matches attract 50 people and whose livestream has 20 views. How does this boost destination visibility in Germany with all the travel advisories?
We should be ashamed as a country.
Tourism marketing is a technical, professional job. It belongs to the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) with its market research, source market analysis, and ROI metrics.
Not every dick and harry should be signing MoUs abroad just for PR photos in branded jerseys.
If we want football tourism marketing:
1. Let @TourismBoardUg lead, not Embassies acting in isolation.
2. Do proper due diligence on audience, reach and value for money.
3. Stop this embarrassing copy-paste. Rwanda's strategy cost millions and targeted Champions League audiences. What will an 8th tier Berlin club deliver?
We have the Pearl of Africa, but we are marketing it like a pebble.
Leave tourism to the technical people.
