Uganda Premier League Team Report Cards: 2024-25 Season Review

East African football is thriving—but not evenly. Tanzania Premier League kingpins Young Africans SC (Yanga) bagged a jaw-dropping UGX 948 million after lifting the 2024/25 league title.

In stark contrast, Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC earned a modest UGX 60 million for their efforts. The numbers speak volumes.

Yanga’s title triumph capped off a thrilling campaign filled with big crowds, fierce rivalries, and a solid commercial backbone.

The Tanzanian league, boosted by strong sponsorship from Azam TV and other corporate partners, continues to raise the bar with big-money rewards along with a professional touch.

Meanwhile, back home in Uganda, Vipers SC celebrated another championship—one built on grit and consistency. But the celebrations ended on a sour financial note in terms of prize monies.

With just UGX 60 million awarded, it’s clear the Uganda Premier League is still playing catch-up in the commercial arena.

The disparity is more than just money. It’s about growth, visibility, and player motivation. Players in Tanzania know they’re battling not just for glory, but for a life-changing payday. Ugandan players, in comparison, are giving their all for pride—and peanuts from the football custodians, FUFA.

Facilities, fan experience, and matchday production in Tanzania are miles ahead. Clubs like Yanga and Simba SC boast modern stadiums, fan merchandise shops, and continental ambitions. Ugandan teams often grapple with empty stands, poor pitches, and limited exposure.

It’s a gap that can’t be ignored. For Uganda to compete regionally, the league needs a reboot—starting with media rights, branding, and real investment. Fans, players, and clubs deserve better.

Football is a game of passion, but it’s also a business. And right now, Tanzania’s playing in the big leagues—while Uganda’s still warming up.
