The package covers player insurance, marketing, media coverage, and club operations, while each UPL team will additionally receive up to UGX 80 million through the FUFA Competitions Development Fund.

While FUFA says the reforms will modernise and professionalise Ugandan football, critics argue the changes could place extra financial and logistical pressure on already struggling clubs.
