The Buganda Masaza Cup heats up as the tournament enters the highly anticipated Quarterfinals stage. Fans are gearing up for the first-leg fixtures this weekend, with all eyes on a crucial clash: Kyaggwe vs Ssese.
Kyaggwe Hosts Ssese in Mukono
In one of the most anticipated Masaza Cup Quarterfinals matchups, Kyaggwe will host Ssese at Mukono Bishops playground. The match is scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m., with the Kyaggwe squad fully prepared and available for selection.
Kyaggwe, last season’s finalist, is determined to secure a spot in the semi-finals for a second consecutive year, having lost the 2024 final to Buddu. Coach Simon Peter Mugerwa will look to star forward Marvin Busuulwa, while the return of Emmanuel Shikanga is expected to bolster the lineup.
The team’s recent recruitments, including Matege James Innocent, winger Phillip Kaggwa (a trophy winner with Busiro), and young striker Derrick Talemwa, add significant depth as they aim to overcome their opponents.
Ssese, coached by the vibrant Edirisa Walusimbi, is making their first quarterfinals appearance since 2021 and is chasing their first semi-final berth since 2007. They will rely on the attacking prowess of Andrew Mukasa and Kevin Mwambu to achieve a historic victory against the former finalists.
