FUFA delegates from the North Eastern region have encouraged Kotido District Football association –DFA to embrace organizing association competitions for the growth of sports in the district.

The call was made by the General Secretary North East Region Daniel Ekaju during their mentorship meeting with Kotido DFA members, Media, head of referees and the Kotido sports union members among others.

According to Ekaju ,if the DFA organize football matches at the 4^th and 5^th division, it would keep the clubs in the district playing whole year round -which keeps the teams busy hence developing the sports in the district.

Ekaju adds that despite the fact that there are no awards for these stages, it will still pave ways for strong teams in the 4^th and 5^th division competitions to advance to the regionals and if they are quite good, they will feature in the top flight football leagues in Uganda.
