Former Member of Parliament for Bukoto Central in Masaka and State Minister for Information Technology, John Alintuma Nsambu is Uganda’s only latest player Agent, after he was the only candidate to pass the recently conducted FIFA player Agents examinations.
Alintuma and two others sat the examinations on March 29 and scored the highest points. According to the FUFA spokesman Rogers Mulindwa, a total of twenty questions were issued each earning the candidate a mark. Fifteen of these examinations were set and sent by FIFA, an international football body while five others were locally set by FUFA.
Alintuma got 15 questions right according to the results supervised by William Byuma, the Federation Education officer, while the other candidates James Ofongo and Musa Kizito scored 11 and 7 points respectively.
The former Minister will now have to appear before the Federation Licensing Board, chaired by a FIFA certified Administration instructor Justus Mugisha for further scrutiny. He will be required to present the insurance cover to the board among other requirements. On fulfillment of all the requirements, Alintuma will be presented with a certificate of operation as a fully registered players’ agent.
The next player Agents examinations will be conducted in September this year.
