Despite reaching the finals for the first time in their history, the Lions were defeated by Buddu 1-0 at a packed Mandela National Stadium, Namboole.
The match was a spectacle of cultural pride and footballing passion.
Thousands of fans, many arriving as early as 2 AM, filled the stadium to capacity, creating a vibrant atmosphere that reflected the deep-rooted connection between Buganda and football.
The air was filled with the rhythmic beats of drums and the chants of supporters, as both teams battled for glory.
Buddu struck early, taking the lead in the 22nd minute through Mike Walaga’s decisive goal.
Kyaggwe, fueled by their passionate fans, fought tirelessly to equalize, with Dan Mubbale and Hakim Lule coming close to finding the net.
However, Buddu’s resolute defense and goalkeeper ensured that the scoreline remained unchanged.
The presence of His Majesty Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II added to the grandeur of the occasion.
