Kampala Province is gearing up for another shot at FUFA Drum glory as the prestigious inter-provincial tournament returns.
Despite participating in all four previous editions, Kampala has yet to lift the title.
However, with renewed determination and a squad blending youthful talent with experience, this year could be their best chance yet.
The province, comprising the districts of Kawempe, Nakawa, Rubaga, and Makindye, kicks off its campaign against Bukedi on Saturday, February 22, at the Yes Center in Nsambya.
Bukedi, runners-up in the second edition of the tournament, will provide a tough opening challenge, but Kampala’s camp remains confident in their ability to make a strong start.
Head coach Simon “Dunga” Dungu is at the helm, bringing tactical discipline and leadership to the squad.
His approach has injected fresh optimism into the team, with officials believing this could be the year they break past their previous best performances.
The FUFA Drum tournament, which features 16 provinces from across Uganda, has grown into a fiercely contested competition.
Defending champions Lango Province will be looking to retain their crown, while other strong contenders will also be vying for the trophy.
However, Kampala’s hunger for success and determination to finally claim the title make them a team to watch.
With the tournament promising thrilling encounters, high-intensity football, and passionate fan support, Kampala Province is ready to take its first steps toward a historic achievement.
Their journey begins on Saturday, and fans can expect a battle filled with excitement, drama, and the dream of ultimate glory.
