After weeks of uncertainty, anticipation, and empty stadiums, the faithful of KCCA FC are finally coming home.
On Friday night, the Kasasiro Boys host newly promoted Calvary FC in the Uganda Premier League at MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo in what promises huge attendance.
The Fans Who Forced a League U-Turn
The 2025/26 season started under FUFA’s controversial new league format, which split teams into multiple phases and threatened the traditional home-and-away rhythm that fans cherished.
While most clubs including KCCA FC forcefully complied, the supporters refused to fill the stands – a silent protest that sent shockwaves through Ugandan football.
Their message was simple but powerful: “Bring back the old format or we boycott.”
Empty stands quickly turned into a wake-up call for FUFA, as the league’s business and credibility suffered.
It took coordinated pressure from fans, clubs, and sports stakeholders to convince FUFA President Moses Magogo to suspend the unpopular system and restore the traditional league format.
This was a victory for fan power: the people who make football live had spoken, and the league listened.
The early weeks of the season saw KCCA FC thrown into a strange scenario – half-empty stadiums and awkward claims of attendance created a surreal scene at Lugogo and Namboole. Yet, the Kasasiro Boys refused to falter.
Their unbeaten streak continued, highlighted by a 1-0 away victory over Express FC at Nakivubo, the day fans returned.
Tonight is the true homecoming. Lugogo will buzz with life once more as KCCA’s genuine lovers reclaim their stadium.
Drums, chants, and passionate tifos will return to the terraces, creating the fortress atmosphere that has long been the Kasasiro Boys’ trademark.
After four games, KCCA FC sits unbeaten with two wins and two draws, gathering eight points. With fans back in full voice, the team has a perfect opportunity to extend their unbeaten streak and assert dominance in the league.
Home Advantage Restored: KCCA FC thrives when fans are behind them, and tonight Lugogo will be alive again.
Fan Power Prevails: The return of supporters underscores the influence fans have on shaping the league.
Momentum Boost: An energized crowd could be the catalyst KCCA needs to continue its unbeaten run.
Tonight, KCCA FC fans are back, Lugogo is alive, and the Kasasiro Boys are ready to show that home truly is where the heart is.
