MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo

Ahead of the 2025/26 StarTimes Uganda Premier League, the top 8 clubs from last season enhance preparations with the Fufa Super 8 tournament that gets underway on Wednesday at the MTN Omondi stadium.
Four teams including rivals KCCA and SC Villa face off but before that, URA take on Kitara at 4pm.
The tax collectors finished last season in 4th position with 52 points while Kitara were seven points behind in 7th position.
Alex Isabirye is expected to unleash some of the new faces at URA including former Kitara players Arthur Kiggundu, Chrispas Kusiima and Ronald Otti as well ex-Bright Stars striker Nelson Ssenkatuka.
His counterpart George Lutalo will be a whole new team following several exits but Murushid Jjuuko, Emmanuel Wasswa, Meddie Kibirige and Isa Lumu among others could get their debuts.
Back to KCCA – Villa clash, the spotlight will be in the dugout with the two sides unleashing new tacticians.
Brian Ssenyondo, KCCA co-coach alongside Jackson Magera will be in charge and it remains to be seen whether they will field their national team players who have been in the TotalEnergies Africa Nations Championship.
New faces Ivan Ahimbisibwe, Lazaro Bwambale are all available and despite being a pre-season tournament, the aim will be to win for either side to establish a decent first leg advantage.
For Villa, the match provides Serbian Kovacevic Zeljko with a first test of football in Uganda.
The club has so far kept their cards on the chest in regards to new signings and thus Zeljko will be the main attraction.
