Allan Okello Case Study: Why It’s So Difficult for Ugandan Footballers to Join Premier League
0Why is it so hard for Ugandan footballers to make it to the English Premier League? Using Allan Okello’s story as a case study, we dive deep into the systemic, economic, and psychological challenges Ugandan players face — from limited international exposure, strict EPL work permit rules, poor football infrastructure, financial pressures, and mental struggles when adapting abroad. This is a must-watch for anyone passionate about Ugandan football, African talent development, and the dream of seeing Ugandans shine on the world stage.
We explore solutions too — from building better youth academies to creating international partnerships and mentorship programs that can help Uganda produce EPL-level players consistently.
