This is one of the most compelling things I have noted in the ongoing Euro tournament. Data from the tournament shows that the average height of players at the tournament is six feet, which is a testament that height is playing a significant role in the game.
So, what ordinary football enthusiasts don’t realize is that the continued ambiguity of Magogo’s situation is costing Fufa potential football sponsorships and partnerships. What serious company would wish to associate with an entity whose leader has questionable moral and integrity character?
It was a masterstroke for whoever convinced him to play for Uganda, and Fufa should make it part of its agenda to identify and persuade players with Ugandan roots to play for the Cranes. That’s how football has evolved.
Indeed, Kiryowa’s reign had the Red Eagles win the 2021 league title, albeit in the boardroom, but it heralded the start of a new era of silverware contention.

Additionally, with the sanctions invoked, the FUFA president cannot fly to represent the federation for any official assignment. This would cost the country important opportunities to leverage or even negotiate for opportunities from FIFA, CAF and other related entities.
