“On 2nd November, I call upon all Ugandans to come and be there. As Airtel, we shall continue working with Buganda to identify and nurture talent in Masaza.” Said Musoke
The development sees the final return to Uganda’s football cathedral for the first time since 2019 when Bulemeezi beat Busiro in the previous final at the venue.
Namboole has previously hosted the (2015 Ssingo Vs Buddu), (2016 Buddu Vs Gomba), (2017 Gomba Vs Ssingo), (2018 Ssingo Vs Buddu), (2019 Bulemeezi Vs Busiro) finals.
When Namboole was under refurbishment, the previous final editions (2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023) have been held at St Mary’s Stadium in Kitende and Muteesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku respectively.
Meanwhile, the return legs of the semi-finals will be played on Sunday, 13th October. Two times champions Buddu won their first leg 3-1 away to Kyaddondo while Kyaggwe ended Buweekula’s unbeaten run with 2-1 home win to take a slim advantage over 2012 and 2021 runners up.
