FUFA has set 31st January as the deadline for clubs that have Chief Executive officers who do not meet qualifications.
According to FUFA only ten out of the 16 teams that feature in the Uganda Premier league have CEOs that meet the set qualifications.
Clubs such as Sports Club Villa, Busoga United FC, Arua Hill SC, Gaddafi FC, UPDF FC and Soltilo Bright Stars FC have CEOs that do not meet the qualifications.
The six above mentioned clubs are required to immediately have qualified personnel as club CEOs and consequently make the hired CEOs principal signatories to the respective club bank accounts that receive payments from UPL for value attached from the sale of league rights.
