The confirmation came during the 101st FUFA Elective General Assembly at the newly inaugurated Hoima Resort Hotel on Saturday, 5 July 2025.
Magogo, first elected in 2013, has now become the longest-serving FUFA president, embarking on a 16-year tenure by 2029. His re-election done by acclamation since he faced no challengers reflects broad stakeholder confidence in his leadership.
Speakers during the assembly included FIFA Regional Lead Davis Ndayisenga, Ministry for Sports’ Sammy Odongo, and Oweek Robert Serwanga, Minister for Sports in the Buganda Kingdom.
In his acceptance address, Magogo outlined an ambitious strategy structured around five pillars:

In 2013, certain things seemed impossible, but today they have become basic. Our success is defined by the know‑how we’ve acquired… driven by passion and hunger”.
