“The value of the General Coordinators Course is huge to the management of game day experience not only in Uganda but the entire region because this is the very first General Coordinators Course by a Member Association in CAF and one of our key pillars in the hat trick is Sport.  You cannot achieve sporting success without the conversant human resource. This is one of the critical areas we are training and as FUFA we are very proud for taking this initiative and we expect this to improve our matchday experience and the game of football in general,” he stated.
