In the efforts to develop the game of beach soccer further, all the beach soccer clubs will to undergo a three day FUFA-connect training.
This is aimed at capturing the beach soccer clubs and players data onto the FUFA system.
The training will commence on Monday 5th August at FUFA SiGs offices, Lungujja. Each club is supposed to send two people for the training, failure to do so means that club will no longer be a full member of UBSA.
After the training, clubs will therefore be expected to do the online player registration and submit to FUFA.
“For the 2019/2020 season, its the obligation of the clubs to put their players on the FUFA-connect system for player registration and licensing purposes,” remarked Ms. Sarah Birungi, is the UBSA competitions secretary. For any club that will not send the official for this training will lose out seriously.
The training will be conduct by the FUFA Expert Mr. Kazoora. All beach soccer clubs both Men & Women must ensure that they comply with these licensing requirements as set by the mother Federation.
During the beach soccer clubs interface with the beach soccer executive, a number of requirements for a club to be accepted to play in the league this season were explained to them. FUFA-connect will benefit the clubs more as it will regulate the players transfer process and clubs must utilize it, as one of the sources of revenue since no more free release of players from one club to another.
The training will commence on Monday 5th August and end on Wednesday 7th August 2019. Time will be 9:00 am for all the three days.
Participants are encouraged to carry along themselves with Laptops and must have some computer knowledge.
“While speaking to MS News UG, Mr. Tumwesigye Anthony UBSA head of competitions sternly stated that “no turning back this season. We must go FUFA connect for the benefit of all stakeholders.
“Any team not ready for this change will not be registered for the 2019/20 beach soccer season”. he added.
