The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has confirmed that National referees handling all FUFA Competitions will start dressing uniformly in Janzi branded attire.
According to the Federation, each referee will have four sets of jerseys in colours; Pink, Purple, Green and Black.
FUFA has paid for one full complimentary set worth 280,000 UGX of a Janzi branded package to each of the 200 National Referees to be worn during FUFA Competitions.
This FUFA offer has a full black kit(top, short and stockings), whistle and its holder.
The national referees will however purchase the other three kits from the FUFA Merchandise shop.
They will purchase the jerseys from FUFA at a fee of 300,000 UGX for three full sets which contain pink, purple and green kits, red/Yellow cards, holding case, pencil, sweat bands and a pair of Toss coins.
FUFA Communications Director Ahmed Hussein confirmed the development via the Federation website on Thursday evening,
“FUFA has paid for one full complimentary set while the referees who are required to have all the four packs will meet the cost of the three sets which come at a cost of 300,000 UGX. Referees have been either compromising on what equipment to use during matches or buying the same items listed above of suspect quality at over 700,000 UGX. National referees will be required to have all the four sets.”
“This communication serves as information to ask referees to contact FUFA Referees office and pick their packages.” Said Hussein
Last week, FUFA officially confirmed Janzi as their sports wear manufacturer and they are also behind the FUFA official match ball that was named Zakayo.
