“We have had a meeting with UBSA and all the clubs that took part in last season’s beach soccer league, we have discussed on a number of issues, that will see the game developing and bringing more stakeholders on board.” Said Margret Kubingi UWFA Chairperson.
Among the issues discussed include; the festival celebration to be held on 31st December 2021 at Mitoora Beach.
“We have agreed that we have end of year festival at Mitoora Beach, that will bring us together and we are going to have clubs there.”
The UBSA Chairperson, Deo Mutabaazi had this to comment on the partnership.
“Today is a very historical day in field of beach Soccer, as we have entered into understanding with UWFA to take over the Women Beach Soccer activities effective from this season for purposes of proper allocation because UWFA is the mother body of women football in Uganda.” Deo Mutabaazi, UBSA Chairperson confirmed.
