Sadam Masereka: Ugandan joins Colorado Springs Switchbacks Football Club

USL Championship side Colorado Springs Switchbacks Football Club signed Ugandan forward Sadam Masereka.
The 21-year-old signed a multi-year contract covering the 2026 and 2027 USL Championship seasons.
Internationally, Masereka has represented Uganda at the U-20 and U-23 national team levels.
“I am excited to start my professional career with the Switchbacks. I can’t wait to play and meet the fans,” remarked Masereka.

Masereka comes to the Switchbacks after he was drafted in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft by Sporting Kansas SC, being picked in the 2nd round, 34th overall.
He enters the professional ranks following a standout senior season at Maryland University, earning 2025 United Soccer Coaches All-North Region First Team, All-Big Ten First Team, and Big Ten offensive player of the week honors.
A dynamic attacking presence, he produced key performances against nationally ranked opponents and in the NCAA Tournament, finishing his two seasons with the Terrapins with 39 appearances, 13 goals, and seven assists.
Before Maryland, Masereka excelled at Lindsey Wilson College, where he logged 3,025 minutes, scored 22 goals, and added seven assists, while helping lead the program to Mid-South Conference titles and earning First Team All-American recognition.
“Sadam is an extremely driven, intelligent, and intrinsically motivated character. He has done very well to rise through the ranks in college soccer from Lindsey Wilson to Maryland,” said Technical Director, Alan McCann.
“He will add more danger and threat to our attack as a winger, and we are looking forward to him putting his stamp on the league.” McCann added.

The Switchbacks also signed Adrien Perez, Khori Bennett, Dane Valenti and Aaron Pondeca (academy contracts).
Colorado Springs Switchbacks was founded on 5th December 2013. They host their home matches at the 8000 seater Weidner Field Colorado Springs, in Colorado city.
The club is owned by Weidner Apartment Homes with Brad Estes as president.

NEC confident of maintaining unbeaten run against UPDF despite injuries

Tuesday March 3, 2026
- Police vs BUL – Kiira Road Police Arena, Kamwokya 4pm
- Kitara vs Entebbe UPPC – Royal Park Butema 4pm
- NEC vs UPDF – MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo 8pm
- Vipers vs Lugazi – St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende 8pm
NEC will be eager to keep their unbeaten run going in 2026 when they host UPDF in one of the four premier league matches on Tuesday.
The Bugolobi based side have not lost a game since the 2-1 defeat to KCCA in December and have since gone seven matches without a loss in the league and two in the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
They go into the game confident after overcoming the same opponent 2-0 in the Stanbic Uganda Cup last week and are unbeaten against the army side in all meetings.
Badru Kaddu has revealed that midfield engine Joseph Sseremba and striker Richard Basangwa are unavailable due to injuries but still believes those available will do the job.
“The target is to keep the run going and we want to win,” said Kaddu.
NEC are 7th on the log with 24 points while UPDF are flirting with relegation having collected only 12 points.
Samuel Ssekamatte could make his NEC debut against former immediate pay bosses in the absence of Basangwa.
In other matches, BUL visit Police, champions Vipers host Lugazi while Kitara are at home to Entebbe UPPC.
Other match day 18 fixtures

What better symbol of KCCA revival than Ahimbisibwe form

Ivan Ahimbisibwe once again scored a brace as KCCA beat Buhimba United Saints to move within two points of leaders Vipers SC.
The two goals make it four goals in as many previous matches after he also netted in the win over St. George in Masindi and against BUL in the premier league.
Ahimbisibwe’s form has coincided with the resurgence of KCCA who are back in contention in the league and also in the round of 16 in the Uganda Cup.
When he hasn’t scored, KCCA have struggled for results dropping points in defeats to Police (2-0), NEC (2-1) and Entebbe UPPC (1-0) and a draw against Maroons.
The ex-URA striker has scored nine league goals and leads the charts jointly with Ambros Kigozi and is just seven shy of his tally from last season.
The work Brian Ssenyondo and his backroom staff have clearly done with the forward on the training pitch is paying off, and the confidence instilled in him is just as plain to see after he appeared to have hit low heights when he returned from Africa Cup of Nations without playing any minutes for Uganda Cranes.
For now, he appears to be back to his best and showing why KCCA signed him from URA in the summer.

Villa name Electoral Committee to take charge of Club Presidential Elections

SC Villa through the registered Trustees of the Villa Members’ Trust (VMT) have revealed the committee that will be in charge of the upcoming Presidential elections.
It should be noted that SC Villa will go to the polls on 22 March and the electoral roadmap has been released already.
The Electoral Committee will be headed by Brian Kajuba with Brandon Katura and Desire Mukisa serving as members.
In the recent General Meeting convened on Sunday, it was agreed that for anyone to contest as the club President, he/she must be a non-refundable registration fee of USH 100M.
Hajji Omar Mandela who is the current SC Villa President is seeking for a return to the helm, having served the previous term between 2021 – 2025.
It should be noted that his term had elapsed in November last year and several questions have been raised on where he is not operating illegally at the moment.
In his defence, Mandela and the current leadership stated that the Villa elections coincided with the National General Elections and thus the decision to postpone the exercise up to March this year.
