Following a successful 13th season finale hosted by Jinja City, Ntare Lions League will hold this season’s climax across borders.
The 14th season, which kicks off this Sunday at Kampala Quality Sports Complex will have its finale hosted by Kigali City, Rwanda.
“Season 14 will run for 18 weeks with the finale held at Ntare School in Kigali, Rwanda on 23rd March 2024,” Aaron Aroriza, the president Ntare Lions League noted.
Defending champions SC Kalele who defeated arch-rivals, TY Omujuma 1-0 in a tense final played at Pitstop Arena in Jinja will be the team to beat.
