Magogo has been sanctioned due to his involvement with Anita Among, the speaker of the Ugandan Parliament who is allegedly involved in rampant corruption
Moses Magogo, President of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes international scandal. The United States government has sanctioned Magogo due to his association with Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, who faces allegations of significant corruption involving public funds.
The U.S. government's damning statement details the reasons behind these punitive measures.
"Speaker of Parliament Anita Among is designated due to involvement in significant corruption tied to her leadership of Uganda’s Parliament," it declared.
The fallout extends beyond Among, implicating her spouse, Magogo, and other prominent Ugandan officials and their spouses, all now barred from entering the United States under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Magogo, a towering figure in Ugandan football, now faces an uncertain future. As FUFA President, his role in shaping the sport's landscape—from grassroots development to international representation—is pivotal. The sanctions threaten his ability to travel, attend crucial meetings, and secure essential funding and partnerships for Ugandan football.

The repercussions of this scandal are profound. Magogo's international credibility is at stake, potentially jeopardizing FUFA's relationships with key sponsors and global football organizations like FIFA and CAF.
