“FUFA had fronted an idea that they be allowed to form a model football club that will help in talent development,” the source who preferred anonymity revealed adding that;
“What surprised us is that the same club is meant to compete in the league like any other normal club.
“I thought that was a bit weird much as I believe the points noted at the symposium could take our football to the next level but this particular one was unheard of,” the source added.
The source revealed that a number of stakeholders present objected the idea on grounds that it would cause a conflict of interest as well as its ownership structure.
The main facilitator at the one-day event was the FUFA president Eng. Moses Magogo.
