FUFA believes that football is not just a game. It can transform society through various aspects and because of this, even this year it has attached a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaign.

This year’s theme is “Make them smile again.” according to FUFA Events Manager, Leilah Nankya

“For the fifth year, we are running this campaign. For every final of the Stanbic Uganda Cup, we look at donating clothes and other items to the less privileged people in the region where the final is played.” Nankya told fufa.co.ug.

“I call upon the general public, sponsors and the corporate world to be part of this cause. We shall have collection centres where clothing items will be received.” She concluded.
