The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) President Eng. Moses Magogo is among eight Ugandans who have been sanctioned by the United States of America Government.
The sanctions are a consequence of his relationship with Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, who has been sanctioned for alleged misuse of public funds.
“Speaker of Parliament Anita Among is designated due to involvement in significant corruption tied to her leadership of Uganda’s Parliament,” the statement from the US government read. “The Department is also designating Among’s spouse, Moses Magogo Hassim; Kitutu’s spouse, Michael George Kitutu; and Lugolobi’s spouse, Evelyne Nakimera; they also are generally ineligible for entry into the United States. The additional steps to impose visa restrictions on multiple other Ugandan individuals are being taken under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act under the policy.”
The sanctioning of Magogo, who is a prominent figure in Ugandan football, raises significant concerns about the future governance and administration of the sport in Uganda. He plays a crucial role in overseeing football activities, including the development of the sport at the grassroots level, organizing national leagues, and representing Uganda in international football forums.
The sanctions could impact Magogo’s ability to travel internationally, which may hinder his participation in key meetings and negotiations essential for securing funding and partnerships for Ugandan football.
Additionally, the credibility of FUFA may be called into question, potentially affecting sponsorships and support from international football bodies like FIFA and CAF.
