Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) President, Eng Moses Magogo, has said his executive is going to make it simpler for clubs, districts, and regions to work online after learning that most of them are being bogged down by the licensing system.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) Transfer Matching System (TMS) is an online platform for its member associations to record player transfers between clubs. Its introduction was approved by the FIFA Congress in 2009 and made mandatory from October 1, 2010.<\/p>\n

However, over 50 delegates from the districts of Jinja, Bugiri, Bugweri, Buyende, Iganga, Kaliro, Kamuli, Luuka, Mayuge, Namayingo and Namutumba told the Eng Magogo-led FUFA executive that all isn\u2019t rosy because of the TMS.<\/p>\n

Eng Magogo said they are moving across the country to interact with stakeholders at the grassroots to understand what they are doing and going to bring but to also appreciate some of the challenges that they face.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe realise that the biggest challenge is licensing online systems, equipment and the know-how of technology which has affected many districts and so many players,\u201d Eng Magogo said in Iganga District on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, going forward, we are going to look into the matter as an executive and try to make it simpler for clubs, districts, and regions to work online,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Busoga Kingdom sports minister, Mr Amin Bossa, said a lot of issues were discussed during the meeting with FUFA executive, but the cardinal issue was the licensing system, which he said some people are not well-versed with.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt times, even when we take the licenses; you take 25 licenses and you receive 15 or 17, which hinders the progress of the clubs that are licensing those players,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This, he added, also affects the players because it is not until they get a license that they get playing time.<\/p>\n

Ms Zaituni Mutesi, a national delegate from the Eastern region, said the biggest challenge in football is a \u201cpoor mindset\u201d, adding that the way people look at football has changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they bring up issues regarding \u2018system\u2019, many people see it as something that is difficult to undertake yet when you read about it, everything becomes simplified. Most clubs and football administrators in the eastern region, however, lack the will,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn most cases, when a player is entered in the system, he or she may take long to be approved yet the league has to start,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Mr Webster Kula, the director of football at Buteme Sports Foundation, says although clubs aren\u2019t well-conversant with online licensing, there is a lot of \u201cbacklog\u201d at FUFA.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost licenses are pending due to \u2018technicalities\u2019 at FUFA, not the teams,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ms Carolyn Birungi, a Uganda Women Football Association (UWFA) delegate, said some of the key challenges they raised were about equipment, but have been given a starting point, with Eng Magogo promising more balls with time.<\/p>\n
