FUFA IN THE DOCK! IGG Probes Magogo Over FUFA Billions, TV Cash, Chan Hotel Bills, Kadiba Stadium in Sweeping Football Federation Inquiry

KAMPALA: FUFA President Moses Magogo is facing mounting questions over the management of Uganda’s football governing body after the Inspectorate of Government launched a sweeping probe into public funds, broadcasting rights, national-team accommodation, stadium construction and the federation’s commercial empire.
The investigation has opened multiple fronts of scrutiny against the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), with investigators demanding years of bank statements, contracts, procurement files, property records and internal resolutions to establish how money was received, spent and accounted for.
In a seven-page letter dated September 14, 2026, addressed to FUFA Chief Executive Officer, the Inspectorate declared that it was investigating allegations of mismanagement of public funds by federation officials.
The document, issued under the authority of Inspector General of Government Lady Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala, seeks records dating back to January 2016, placing major financial and commercial decisions made during Magogo’s leadership under examination.
From the StarTimes broadcasting deal to the unfinished Kadiba Stadium project, CHAN 2025 accommodation and companies linked to FUFA, investigators are demanding documentary evidence to establish who authorised the transactions, where the money went and whether the arrangements were properly accounted for.
The probe does not, by itself, establish wrongdoing by Magogo or any other official. However, its breadth raises serious accountability questions for an institution entrusted with managing football development and handling public funding.
TV RIGHTS CASH ROW!
One of the most sensitive areas concerns FUFA’s commercial and broadcasting rights, including arrangements involving FUFA Media Services Ltd.
The Inspectorate wants the legal instrument through which FUFA transferred, licensed or assigned commercial rights in its competitions to the company.
Investigators are also demanding the Executive Committee resolution authorising the arrangement, the valuation used to determine the consideration payable and evidence that the agreed amount was actually paid.
The questions strike at the heart of how valuable football assets were commercialised and whether the federation received the financial benefits due to it.
The inquiry also covers agreements for broadcasting, streaming and commercial exploitation of FUFA competitions from January 1, 2016, onwards.
Satellite Plus Systems (U) Limited has also attracted scrutiny, with investigators demanding procurement and selection records, due diligence documents, technical specifications, contracts, invoices and evidence of services delivered.
The central question is whether the commercial arrangements were properly authorised, competitively handled where required and supported by verifiable financial records.
STARTIMES DEAL UNDER PROBE!
The StarTimes broadcasting and naming-rights arrangements have emerged as another major area of interest.
Investigators want the original agreements involving StarTimes, Star DTV (Uganda) Co. Limited or associated companies, covering the Uganda Premier League and FUFA Big League.
They are also demanding amendments, renewals, side letters, payment schedules and revenue-sharing formulas.
Particular attention has been directed at the arrangement under which broadcasting rights fees were reportedly remitted to FUFA Media Services Ltd rather than directly to the federation.
The Inspectorate wants the instrument authorising that payment arrangement, the authority relied upon and the resolution approving it.
FUFA is also expected to provide a reconciliation showing how much was due under the contracts, how much was received, which entities received the money and how it was ultimately spent.
Season-by-season payment records for Uganda Premier League and FUFA Big League clubs, beginning with the 2018/19 campaign, are also required.
Any deductions from broadcasting proceeds, including production costs, must be backed by invoices and other supporting documents.
The investigators further want records of consultations with clubs over revenue allocation and the resolutions approving the broadcasting agreements.
For Magogo’s administration, the examination could become a major test of how transparently football’s commercial earnings have been handled.
CHAN HOTEL BILL QUESTIONS!
The accommodation of the Uganda Cranes during the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) is another issue drawing the Inspectorate’s attention.
Investigators want records showing how the accommodation facility was identified, inspected, selected and approved, alongside negotiated rates, contracts, invoices and proof of payment.
The letter specifically seeks details of the business registered as FUFA Hotel Kisaasi, including its proprietors, trading address, relationship with the federation and financial accounts.
FUFA Hospitality and Travel Agency Ltd is also under examination, with investigators demanding its ownership details, directors, constitution, bank accounts and operational records.
The probe seeks to establish the ownership and financial relationships surrounding the accommodation businesses, how facilities were selected and who ultimately received the payments.
The Inspectorate has extended its inquiry beyond CHAN, demanding schedules of facilities used to accommodate national football teams for competitions, tournaments and training camps from January 1, 2018.
The records are expected to show dates, accommodation facilities, rates, numbers of occupants, amounts paid and the beneficiaries of the payments.
The demands raise questions about whether national-team accommodation expenditure was properly authorised, documented and accounted for.
KADIBA STADIUM: WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?
The prolonged development of Kadiba Stadium is another major focus of the investigation.
The Inspectorate wants comprehensive records of the project’s financing, procurement, construction expenditure, ownership arrangements and current status.
Investigators are demanding agreements and correspondence involving FIFA, disbursement statements, progress reports and audit findings.
FUFA must also disclose the total funds received for the project, the bank accounts into which the money was deposited, construction designs, bills of quantities, contractor selection records, contracts and payment certificates.
The role of the project engineer and supervising consultant is also under scrutiny.
One of the most consequential demands is for a complete account of expenditure from the project’s inception, reconciled against funds received from every source.
The Inspectorate further wants a statement of the project’s current physical and financial status, together with an explanation for the delay in completion.
The inquiry is expected to examine whether expenditure corresponds with work undertaken and how funds committed to the stadium have been managed.
For Magogo’s leadership, the stadium questions present another challenge to its record on football infrastructure development.
FUFA HOUSE, NJERU PROPERTY FILES SOUGHT!
The investigation has also extended to FUFA’s property portfolio.
The Inspectorate wants a register of all land and buildings owned, leased, occupied, developed or used by FUFA and its associated entities.
The records must disclose ownership, acquisition dates, purchase prices, funding sources, improvements and current use.
Investigators have specifically demanded the certificate of title and transfer history for FUFA House in Mengo, together with resolutions authorising transfers.
The FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru is also under examination, with land titles, project agreements and construction records required.
The property inquiry seeks to establish how the federation acquired, controlled and utilised its assets, and whether the relevant transactions were properly authorised and documented.
SCORELINE, COMMERCIAL EMPIRE IN SPOTLIGHT!
The Inspectorate is also examining Scoreline Investments Limited and other companies associated with FUFA.
Investigators want Scoreline’s corporate history, incorporation resolutions, shareholding details and records of changes in ownership, name or objectives.
They are demanding a schedule of the company’s assets, including property, bank accounts, sponsorship agreements, broadcasting rights and intellectual property, as well as clarification on whether any assets were held on behalf of FUFA.
Certified bank statements covering January 1, 2021, to August 31, 2026, have been requested.
The Inspectorate also wants details of dividends, management fees, advances and other transactions between FUFA and its associated businesses.
The wider inquiry covers the ownership, directorship, finances and operations of legal entities controlled by the federation or its registered trustees.
These records could help investigators establish how FUFA’s commercial businesses operate, who controls their assets and how financial transactions between the entities are authorised.
TAXPAYERS’ MONEY UNDER SCRUTINY!
The probe reaches directly into government funding received by the federation.
FUFA has been directed to account for grants, subventions and other financial releases from the National Council of Sports, the Ministry of Education and Sports, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and other public institutions between July 1, 2021, and August 31, 2026.
Investigators want details of each allocation, its intended purpose, expenditure returns, supporting vouchers and evidence that the relevant government agency accepted the accountability.
The Inspectorate has also requested financial reports and audited accounts submitted under Section 22 of the National Sports Act, 2023.
Procurement files covering July 2021 to June 2026 are also required.
In addition, FUFA must identify every bank account operated since January 1, 2016, including closed accounts, authorised signatories and opening and closure dates.
Certified bank statements covering July 2021 to August 2026 have been requested for the federation and its associated legal entities, alongside audited financial statements dating back to 2016, management letters and Executive Committee meeting records.
The scale of the demands points to an effort to reconstruct years of financial transactions and establish whether public funds and commercial revenues were properly managed.
MAGOGO FACES ACCOUNTABILITY TEST!
For Magogo, who has led FUFA through years of commercial expansion and football development initiatives, the investigation presents a major test of the federation’s governance and financial accountability systems.
The Inspectorate has authorised officers Paul Alianu Ejangu, Fredrick Oketch, Milly Namuwanga and Jennifer Katusiime to conduct inquiries and collect certified records.
The investigation remains at the evidence-gathering stage, and the demands for documents should not be treated as proof of fraud, theft or mismanagement by any named person.
Nevertheless, FUFA faces the task of producing records capable of explaining the financial decisions, contracts and commercial arrangements under examination.
The outstanding questions extend beyond a single project or transaction: how public funding was spent, how broadcasting revenues were collected and distributed, how national-team accommodation was procured, and how assets and affiliated companies were managed.
The Inspectorate’s findings will determine whether the concerns uncovered by the investigation warrant further action.
For now, Magogo and the FUFA leadership face intense scrutiny as investigators seek a paper trail behind some of Ugandan football’s most consequential financial and infrastructure decisions.
