Uganda’s President, H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has shown strong support for the national football team by offering a huge motivation ahead of CHAN 2024. The President has promised a whopping bonus of 1.2 billion Ugandan shillings for every match the team wins during the tournament. This incredible announcement has sparked excitement among players, fans, and the entire football community across the country.
The news was shared with the team by the President of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), Hon. Magogo Moses Hassim. The announcement came as a big boost to the players, who are now more fired up than ever to represent their country and perform at their best in the upcoming tournament.
This move by President Museveni shows not only his love for sports but also his belief in the talent and potential of the Uganda Cranes. With such a strong backing from the highest office in the land, the players have every reason to give their all on the pitch. It also sends a clear message: Uganda is serious about making a mark in African football.
The bonus has lifted spirits and raised expectations. The players now know that their efforts will be greatly rewarded, not just with national pride, but also financially. It’s no longer just a game — it’s a mission backed by the entire nation.
As the FUFA slogan says, “It is Our Game, It is Our Country.” Uganda has set the bar high, and the world will be watching.
