Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) president Aleksander Čeferin is in Uganda for the first time ever. He touched down today, Tuesday, 14th March 2023 and he was received by the Minister of State for Sports, Peter Ogwang and other officials from the National Council of Sports (NCS) at Entebbe International Airport.

“It is my singular honour to receive and welcome the President of UEFA, Mr. Aleksander Čeferin who is in Uganda. It is a noble privilege to have you here for the first time. I am optimistic that your visit will breathe new life and hope for our underprivileged young talent,” Minister of State for Sports Ogwang said via a tweet.

The primary purpose of Čeferin’s coming to Uganda is to visit Aliguma Foundation and check the progress of the Acholi Quarters project. Čeferin and his team plan to stay for an entire day tomorrow inorder to check on different works of the foundation in promoting better livelihoods in the slum communities through sports especially football.

Speaking at the Entebbe Airport VVIP lounge, Čeferin said he is extremely delighted to come to Uganda for the first time ever.

“We have the FIFA Congress in Kigali, but the best part of the congress for me is Uganda. I am looking forward to my stay in Uganda,” Čeferin told media.
