FUFA Big League | Sunday | MD26
- Blacks Power Vs Buhimba – UTC Playground – Lira
As the 2024–2025 FUFA Big League winds into its final stretch, every game has become a battle of survival and ambition.
Match Day 26, set for Sunday, 25th May 2025, is more than just a routine round; it’s a defining moment for both promotion hopefuls and relegation-threatened clubs.
At the heart of this high-stakes weekend is a monumental top-of-the-table clash between league leaders Buhimba United Saints and second-placed Blacks Power, set to unfold at the UTC playground in Lira City.
With just three slots available for promotion to the Uganda Premier League, the pressure is immense, and there’s no room for error.
Buhimba United Saints, hailing from Kikuube District, sit atop the table with 45 points from 24 matches. Coached by the experienced duo of Mark Twinamatisko and Paul Nkata, the Saints have been the surprise package of the season.
Their steady rise to the summit has been fueled by disciplined play and tactical maturity.
Blacks Power, playing one game less, closely trail with 42 points from 23 matches. With home advantage and everything to play for, they are poised to throw everything at Buhimba in what promises to be a title-defining showdown.
While Buhimba and Blacks Power fight for supremacy, the top five teams remain in contention for promotion.
The thin margins between the contenders mean that any slip-up could drastically alter the promotion landscape.
Equally intense is the scrap at the bottom, where clubs are in a fierce scramble to avoid the four dreaded relegation spots.
Individually, players are making headlines of their own. Lawrence Kambugu of Ntugasaze leads the Golden Boot race with 12 goals, closely followed by Lawrence Olaboro (Calvary) and Ambrose Kigozi (Kiyinda Boys), who have 11 goals apiece.
