Mulindwa further enlightened on the changes that may come up concerning the FUFA Big League,
“There are some new ideas we are introducing in the form of the competition reforms whereby every FUFA Big League club will be having an U-17 team but only playing in their respective regions. The clubs have liked the idea.”
“Can we continue playing in groups of the FUFA Big League or we join the two groups and play as one group? Those are some of the ideas we have.”
The FUFA Big League ended prematurely and Elgon Group leaders MYDA FC were subsequently promoted to the Uganda Premier League.
Kitara FC, Kiboga Young, Kitara FC and Ndejje University are expected to take part in the promotional play offs in pursuit for the other UPL berth.

The FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo said that the Federation will take a fine review of the petition lodged by Ndejje University which temporarily cut short UPDF’s promotion celebrations.
FUFA will also meet clubs featuring in the FUFA Women Super League, Women Elite League, National Beach Soccer League and Futsal League.
