FUFA has finally agreed that USL manages and runs the league under Uganda Super League limited (USL). Both parties are therefore not going to play a game of staking but it's rather one of the issues that were addressed during the Jinja declaration early this year, where the league and super league clubs must run professionally for the good of the game of football.

It's also good that there is no longer going to be any more complainants by clubs and their respective officials over Fufa and league business, because now, they (USL) take up the responsibility. So when the league and other league-related things are messed, they have themselves to blame.

Fortunately, and something to be happy about, is that Fufa- as the local football governing body- retains some powers to vet clubs and certify them for the league managers USL.

That said and done, though it's a requirement that the league must run professionally under a professional board independent of Fufa, the issues of timing, and, again, which individual qualifies to be constituted on the committee to run the football league business, is something for debate in this article.

Today, with the clubs failing to pay their respective players, having difficulties of finances, the disorganization in the board rooms by club officials, poor club infrastructure and structures, there are still loopholes that might lynch in this particular project.

Sometimes, we have to do right things at the right time. Starting right now to run as a professional league is, yes good for the game, but something rushed. Clubs might struggle a lot coping with the development, more than it's been under the Fufa normal way of bringing on who qualifies.

There has thus been a rush to that commitment.
Locally, there are very few clubs that have all the requirements of running as corporate entities under a professional league, something that is a pre-requisite in the professional world of football.

This means that in some seasons, the league might run with only three or four clubs, something considered as not developing football. Over to you USL.
