The local football governing body, FUFA, has taken the unusual step of organizing sessions for the Uganda national football teams to learn the words of the national anthem.
In a short statement posted on the FUFA social media platforms, the federation said,
“All Players summoned to the Uganda National football teams will be tasked to undergo sessions to learn how to sing the National Anthem of Uganda.
This will also apply to the team officials. FUFA Manages 10 National teams (Men and Women).”
Do you know how to sing the national anthem? Let’s go.
Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee,
We lay our future in thy hand.
United, free,
For liberty
Together we’ll always stand.
Oh Uganda! the land of freedom.
Our love and labour we give,
And with neighbours all
At our country's call
In peace and friendship we'll live.
Oh Uganda! the land that feeds us
By sun and fertile soil grown.
For our own dear land,
We'll always stand,
The Pearl of Africa's Crown.
