Kitara Football Club beefs up for 2025/26 UPL second round with three crucial additions, title aspirations envisaged

Tried and tested forwards Muhammad “Jaggarson” Shaban and Edson Agondeze as well as winger Living Kabon are the three signings that Kitara Football Club has confirmed in this secondary players’ transfer window.
These three players are expected to beef up the Hoima based entity coached by Richard Wasswa Bbosa who are chasing the 2025/26 Uganda Premier League title.

Shaban is a Uganda Cranes player who brings experience at the Royals’ forward line having previously played at Onduparaka, KCCA and Vipers in the Uganda Premier League before brief spells in Libya and lately in Ethiopia.
Agondeze and Kabon make returns to the club after spells away at Buhimba United Saints and Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) football clubs respectively.

Kitara Football Club president Deo Kasozi, the key engine behind these signings boldly speaks of the premier league aspirations.
“Shaban, Kabon and Edson are good players as they join us a crucial stage when we are chasing for the Uganda Premier League title. It is a big dream that we want to realize. This is the right timing to bring on such players” Kasozi reveals.
Prior to the arrival of the three additions, Kitara forward had George Ssenkaaba, Patrick Henry Kaddu, Crispus Asiki, Eddie Ssebandeke and John Bosco Byaruhanga.
They are expected to bring the necessary healthy competition, giving the technical bench plenty of options as the fixtures come forth and by.
Kitara hosts Abdallah Mubiru’s Entebbe UPPC in a space of ten days during the 2026 Stanbic Uganda Cup (round of 32 stage) and the league.
First, Entebbe UPPC will visit the Royals’ Park in Butema on Tuesday, 24th February 2026 before the two sides will again face off at the same venue on 3rd March 2026.

NEC confident of maintaining unbeaten run against UPDF despite injuries

Tuesday March 3, 2026

- 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.

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.
