Kitara and Entebbe UPPC clash in Stanbic Uganda Cup showdown

Kitara face off with fellow premier league side Entebbe UPPC at Royal Park Butema on Tuesday aiming to progress to the Stanbic Uganda Cup round of 16.

The clash is one of the five all-premier league ties in this round and one of the biggest games so far.

The hosts are expected to unleash new signings Muhammad Shaban and Kabon Living but Edson Agondze is cup tied after featuring for Buhimba United Saints in the previous round.

“We face a very good team with a strong technical bench and players but playing at home gives the advantage,” Kitara coach Wasswa Bbosa stated.

This will be the first of two meetings in a space of seven days as the two sides also clash in the premier league second round on March 3.

“For now, the focus is on the Uganda Cup and not the league game,” said Entebbe UPPC first team coach Livingstone Mbabazi.

Like Kitara, the visitors could also unleash new signings including Samuel Nsubuga who joined the Printers in the ongoing window.

In the previous round, Entebbe UPPC needed a Fazil Tumwine goal to edge past Koboko’s Ombachi Pride FC, while Kitara defeated Obule Earth Quake FC 1-0 courtesy of John Bosco Byaruhanga.

In their previous league meeting this season away at Bugonga Fisheries playground, Abdullah Mubiru’s side defeated Kitara 1-0. Tuesday’s encounter promises to be another thriller.

Despite that recent league loss, Kitara holds a perfect record against Entebbe UPPC in the Stanbic Uganda Cup, winning both prior meetings: 2024: Kitara 2-0 Entebbe UPPC (then Gaddafi FC) and 2025: Entebbe UPPC 1-2 Kitara.

The two teams welcome back team captains Jasper Aheebwa (Kitara) and Mustafa Mujjuzi (Entebbe UPPC) from suspension after they missed the last league outings through suspension.
