Ex-FUFA Boss Kakaire Recognised At ForteBet Real Stars Awards

Former FUFA President Hajji Twaha Kakaire has been recognised at the ForteBet Real Stars Sports Awards held on Tuesday at Route256 restaurant in Lugogo, Kampala.

Kakaire is the first recipient of the Life Time Achievement award as Real Stars move to grow wings.

He was the FUFA boss from 1995 when he replaced Moses Ali until 1997, replaced by Denis Obua.

During his reign, Uganda won the CECAFA championship in Sudan and he notably lobbied funds for the Federation, and the league finally got its first sponsorship (Nile Breweries) in 1997.

“He did a very good job for Uganda and we felt it right to appreciate administrators as well.”

Kakaire commended Real Stars for the recognition and confirmed that Football is still his ‘clan.’

“Thank you Real Stars for promoting talent to see that our sportsmen get a career.”
