The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has launched an investigation into allegations of mismanagement of public funds by officials of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), demanding extensive financial, corporate, property and procurement records from the football governing body.
In a letter dated September 22, 2026, addressed to FUFA President Moses Magogo at FUFA House in Mengo, Kampala, Inspector General of Government Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala directed the federation to produce documents and information relating to its governance, public funding, bank accounts, commercial operations, infrastructure projects and affiliated companies.
According to the IGG, the FUFA president must provide details of every grant, subvention or release received by FUFA from the National Council of Sports, the Ministry of Education and Sports, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and other public bodies between July 1, 2021, and August 31, 2026.
The requested information includes the amounts received, dates of disbursement, intended purposes, conditions attached to the funding and the supporting accountability documents.
“The federation is accordingly required to produce the relevant records and information necessary to establish the amounts of public funds received, the purposes for which they were released, the conditions attached to those releases and the manner in which the funds were subsequently accounted for,” the IGG said.
The IGG has also demanded expenditure returns, supporting vouchers and acquittals submitted to the respective funding agencies, as well as financial reports and audited accounts provided to the National Council of Sports under Section 22 of the National Sports Act, 2023.
“The documentation required includes the accountability rendered for each public release, including expenditure returns, supporting payment vouchers and any acquittal accepted by the disbursing body. These records are necessary for the investigation to examine the relationship between public funds released to the federation and the expenditure reported against those funds.”
The Inspectorate has requested a complete schedule of every bank account held by FUFA, including closed accounts, from January 1, 2016, to date. The schedule must identify the banks, branches, account numbers, currencies, dates of opening and closure, and authorised signatories.
Certified bank statements are required for the period July 1, 2021, to August 31, 2026. Similar information has been requested from legal entities owned by the federation.
The IGG has additionally demanded audited financial statements for each financial year from 2016 to date, together with the corresponding auditors’ management letters.
“The federation is required to provide a complete schedule of every bank account held by it at any bank, whether the account remains open or has been closed, together with the relevant account details and the authorised signatories from time to time. Certified statements for the specified period and the corresponding audited financial records are also required to facilitate examination of the federation’s financial transactions.”
The inquiry also covers FUFA’s governance, with the Inspectorate demanding the statutes in force during each year from 2016, as well as minutes, agendas, board papers and resolutions from every Executive Committee meeting held during the period.
Kadiba Stadium
The Kadiba Stadium project is among the areas for which the IGG has demanded extensive supporting documentation.
The requested records include land ownership documents, project agreements, FIFA correspondence, funding and disbursement statements, progress reports, audit reports, designs, bills of quantities, procurement records, executed contracts, payment certificates and site records.
The federation must also identify the project engineer and supervising consultant and provide their terms of engagement.
“The federation is required to provide a full account of all expenditure on the Kadiba project from its inception to date, reconciled against the funds received from every source. The account should be accompanied by the relevant disbursement statements, project reports, audit records and supporting documentation, together with a statement of the current physical and financial status of the works and the reasons for their non-completion.”
The requested records could enable investigators to compare the funds received with expenditure incurred, contractual obligations and the project’s implementation progress.
The letter also seeks the legal instrument under which FUFA occupies the land at Kadiba, together with correspondence and resolutions relating to its acquisition and the certificate of title of the registered proprietor.
FUFA House and Njeru Technical Centre
The IGG has demanded a comprehensive schedule of properties owned, leased, occupied, developed or used by FUFA and entities associated with the federation.
The records must identify the properties’ locations, title details, registered proprietors, acquisition dates, purchase consideration, sources of funding, improvements and current use.
Particular attention has been directed to FUFA House in Mengo, with the Inspectorate requesting its certificate of title, complete transfer history from the earliest available record and resolutions authorising each transfer.
“The federation is required to provide the certificate of title and complete transfer history of FUFA House, Mengo, from the earliest record available, together with the resolutions authorising each transfer. The Inspectorate also requires the relevant title and construction documentation for the FUFA Technical Centre at Njeru.”
The request extends to leases, transfers, mortgages, charges, caveats and other encumbrances relating to properties included in the schedule.
FUFA Media Services
The inquiry also covers companies and other legal entities owned or controlled by FUFA or its registered trustees.
The IGG has requested their incorporation documents, ownership structures, directors’ records, annual returns, audited accounts, bank statements and minutes of board meetings.
For Scoreline Investments Limited, the Inspectorate wants the company’s complete corporate history, resolutions authorising its incorporation and shareholding arrangements, a schedule of assets held by the company, and an explanation of the commercial functions it performed on behalf of the federation.
“The federation is required to provide the complete corporate history of Scoreline Investments Limited, including the resolutions authorising its incorporation, the holding of its shares by or on behalf of the federation, and subsequent changes to its name, objects and shareholding. A schedule of assets held by the company and an explanation of the commercial functions conducted through it, including the periods and authority under which those functions were undertaken, are also required.”
The IGG has separately requested documentation concerning the transfer, assignment or licensing of FUFA’s commercial rights to FUFA Media Services Limited, including the authorising resolutions, valuation of the rights and evidence of consideration paid.
StarTimes Broadcasting Rights and Club Payments
The Inspectorate has requested the broadcasting and naming-rights agreements between FUFA and StarTimes, Star DTV (Uganda) Company Limited or associated companies concerning the Uganda Premier League and FUFA Big League.
The records sought include agreements, addenda, side letters, renewals, revenue-sharing formulas, payment schedules and resolutions approving the arrangements.
Investigators also want details of the authority under which broadcasting rights fees were directed or permitted to be paid to FUFA Media Services Limited rather than directly to the federation.
The IGG has further demanded a season-by-season schedule of payments distributed to Uganda Premier League and FUFA Big League clubs from the 2018/19 season to date, with proof of payment for each club.
Any deductions made before distribution, including those described as production costs, must be itemised alongside their calculation basis, recipients and supporting invoices.
CHAN Accommodation and FUFA Hospitality Businesses
The IGG has also requested records of accommodation provided to national football teams from January 1, 2018, to date, including facilities used, dates, rates, numbers accommodated, amounts paid and payment recipients.
Specific documentation has been requested concerning accommodation for the Uganda Cranes during the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
The inquiry also covers FUFA Hotel Kisaasi and FUFA Hospitality and Travel Agency Limited, with the IGG seeking details of their ownership, management, accounts, bank accounts, business activities and relationship with the federation.
