Uganda’s football governing body, the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), is facing scrutiny from the Inspectorate of Government (IGG), which has demanded extensive financial and administrative records as part of an investigation into the federation’s financial dealings.
The inquiry, directed at FUFA president Moses Magogo, covers bank accounts, audited financial statements, procurement records, property documents and transactions involving the federation’s commercial operations.
According to reports published on Monday, October 26, 2026, the IGG is seeking records dating back to 2016, with particular attention to public funding, broadcasting rights, payments to football clubs and expenditure on infrastructure projects.
The investigation places the management of football finances under renewed scrutiny, particularly the handling of funds intended to support football development, competitions and affiliated clubs.
StarTimes broadcasting deal under scrutiny
One of the key areas being examined is FUFA’s broadcasting and commercial arrangements involving StarTimes and associated companies.
Investigators are reportedly seeking agreements relating to the Uganda Premier League and FUFA Big League, including payment schedules, revenue-sharing arrangements and supporting financial documents.
The inquiry also covers payments made to league clubs, with investigators seeking records that could establish how much was distributed, when payments were made and whether any deductions were applied before the money reached the clubs.
Broadcasting revenue is an important component of football’s commercial ecosystem, helping to support competitions, clubs and the broader development of the game. Greater transparency in how such income is collected and distributed is therefore central to maintaining confidence among clubs and other stakeholders.
The requested records could help investigators establish how the relevant agreements were authorised, how revenue was handled and whether the transactions were properly documented.
Financial accountability and governance
Beyond broadcasting arrangements, the IGG is reportedly seeking bank statements, audited accounts, procurement documents and records relating to FUFA’s properties and projects.
The investigation is expected to examine the documentation surrounding the federation’s financial transactions and the management of its assets.
Such scrutiny is significant for a national sports governing body that oversees football competitions, national teams and development programmes while engaging with public institutions, commercial partners and international football organisations.
Clear financial records and transparent decision-making are important not only for regulatory compliance but also for sustaining confidence among clubs, sponsors, supporters and other stakeholders who expect football resources to be managed responsibly.
No findings of wrongdoing announced
The request for documents does not, by itself, establish that FUFA or any of its officials have committed wrongdoing.
The inquiry remains an investigative process, and any conclusions will depend on the records examined and evidence established by the Inspectorate.
FUFA’s response to the reported demands, including whether the federation has submitted the requested documents, was not included in the information available for this report.
The outcome could provide further clarity on the management of the federation’s finances and commercial arrangements, while reinforcing the importance of accountability in Ugandan football.
Editorial note: The expanded story draws on reports published on October 26, 2026, which describe a broader inquiry than the original brief, including public funding, infrastructure and commercial rights.
