SC Villa 4-0 Buhimba United Saints: Najib stars with a brace | 2025/26 UPL

2025/26 UPL (Match Day 25):
- Sports Club Villa 4-0 Buhimba United Saints
Sports Club Villa earned their 15th victory of the season in the 2025/26 StarTimes Uganda Premier League with a comprehensive 4-0 home win over a hapless Buhimba United Saints at the FUFA Stadium in Kadiba on Saturday night.
Najib Yiga netted a brace with Patrick Jonah Kakande and Charles “Neymar” Lwanga adding a goal apiece.




On his 24th birth-day, Kakande opened the scoring business in the 2nd minute, thanks to a decently laid ball from Frank Ssebufu inside the goal area.
Yiga got his first on the night in the 22nd minute off another Ssebufu assist before the former was stretchered off with an injury eight minutes off the half hour mark with Lwanga taking his place.
Lwanga assisted Yiga for his second goal in the 59th minute, SC Villa’s third goal.

The icing on the cake came in the final moments of the one-sided duel when Lwanga finished from close range.
The massive victory puts SC Villa to 51 points, same as KCCA and Kitara.
These three clubs are four points shy of leaders Vipers who host Entebbe UPPC on Sunday night during the Entebbe road derby.

The 2025/26 FUFA Big League season officially comes to a grand climax on Saturday, 6th June 2026.
Eight games are on card and each of the fixture is of equal relevance to the clubs in the box.
The overall champion of the season will be known, the fourth promoted club and all the four relegated clubs.
It is a battle for promotion to the Uganda Premier League for the remaining one slot that will be taken by either Eastern Uganda’s Kataka or West Nile party, Paidha Black Angels.
Equally, match day 30 will determine the champion of the league and the three other clubs to be demoted to the respective regional leagues to join already relegated Mbale Heroes.

Which is the fourth club to be promoted?
After the promotion of Kigezi Home Boyz, Blacks Power and Ntugasaze, there is one remaining slot to fight for.
This will go to either Kataka or Paidha Black Angels.
The main target will be to win our game and be assured of promotion to the top league. All the players are set for the task at hand.
Godfrey “Toldo” Awachango, Kataka Football Club head coach
With 48 points, Kataka visits Soltilo Bright Stars in Kampala on the final day seeking for maximum points.
On the other hand, Paidha Black Angels also need maximum points over fellow West Nile region side Nebbi Central at the Luo stadium with prayers that Kataka fails to win in Kampala.


Champions in waiting:
Either Kigezi Home Boyz or Blacks Power will emerge as champions for the season.
Blacks Power just needs a point from their away fixture over Onduparaka at the Ababet GreenLight Stadium to clinch the championship.
Onduparaka risks relegation if they lose with a probability that Kaaro Karungi, Soltilo Bright Stars, CATDA and Nebbi Central all win their last games.
Kigezi Home Boyz who host CATDA at the Al Madina Stadium in Kabale can also clinch the championship if they win at home and pray that Blacks Power falls in Arua to Onduparaka.
Relegation fight:
With Mbale Heroes already relegated; three more clubs shall be relegated after Saturday’s games.
Wakiso Giants (31), Soltilo Bright Stars (32), Kaaro Karungi (33), CATDA (34), Nebbi Central (34) and Onduparaka (35) are all engaged in the survival battle.
Bunyaruguru United entertains Kaaro Karungi in Kasese; Kiyinda Boys host Ntugasaze,
Kigezi Homeboyz entertains CATDA in Kabale, Young Elephant Academy hosts Wakiso Giants at the Elephants Park, Nwoya and Mbale Heroes will bid farewell to the FUFA Big League against Iganga United at the Mbale City stadium.
The four promoted clubs will join the StarTimes Uganda Premier League for the season 2026/27.
