Current

The president of FUFA is Moses Hassim Magogo who succeeded Lawrence Mulindwa in August 2013.[7][8] Magogo is an electrical engineer by trade and has worked for the African Development Bank. Magogo was previously the federation's vice president, in charge of administration.

In 2000, while playing for Kinyara FC, Magogo started to actively participate in sports talk shows on radio. That platform endeared him to the public and by the time he was elected the FUFA delegate for Lubaga, Magogo had created a niche as one of the most knowledgeable persons about football management. FUFA subsequently appointed him to run the Super League.

Magogo is accredited for having transformed the league and football competition systems in Uganda and particularly the FUFA Big League and Regional Leagues. He is also responsible for starting the players contracting regulations and system in Uganda, negotiating and concluding the various sponsorships to football.[9][10] With an assertive nature he has been a central figure in administration wrangles.[11]
