Exclusive Interview with Manchester City’s Divine Mukasa

At the sunset of Friday, June 28th, 2024, at the departure lounge of Entebbe International Airport, I encountered a familiar yet unusual face. Divine Mukasa, Manchester City’s new signing, was heading back to the United Kingdom after spending his off-season holiday in Uganda. Despite being in a rush and accompanied by his mother, Laima Mukasa, he graciously gave me some time to talk about his career and his experiences in Uganda.

Divine Mukasa was born on August 22, 2007, in London, UK, to a Ugandan father, Sam Mukasa, and a Lithuanian mother, Laima Mukasa. This rich familial tapestry grants Divine the exciting possibility of representing Uganda, England, or Lithuania on the international stage. Currently employed by Manchester City FC, Mukasa has already showcased his talent by representing England at the U-15 and U-17 levels. In September 2023, he joined Manchester City from West Ham United, having won his first FA Youth Cup title with the London-based club.

On Playing Style and Potential

Described on his club’s website as “a player who thrives in tight spaces and is well capable of scoring and assisting goals, Divine adds an extra level of creativity to every side he plays in,” Mukasa’s future in football looks incredibly promising. At just 16 years old, the attacking midfielder has already caught the eye of top-tier clubs and national teams alike.

Off-Season Holiday in Uganda

Mukasa spoke warmly about his off-season holiday in Uganda, describing it as “one of the most wonderful moments” as he got to reconnect with his family from his father’s side. “Uganda is very different from London; it was a good learning experience,” he shared. “It was great to see how we grew up and to spend time with my family.”

Future with Uganda Cranes?

When asked if he would play for the Uganda National Football Team, the Uganda Cranes, Mukasa responded thoughtfully. “I am not sure what the future holds for me,” he said, hinting at the possibilities but not committing just yet.

Regarding a potential return to Uganda, the soft-spoken Mukasa, with a smile, answered, “I don’t know what to say, but maybe in a few years, I may be back.”

Departure

As he prepared to board his flight back to the UK, Mukasa was dressed in all black: open shoes, socks, shorts, jacket, and a cape, carrying his black suitcase. Despite his understated attire, his presence and talent are anything but ordinary.

Divine Mukasa’s journey is one to watch closely as he continues to develop his career at Manchester City and possibly make pivotal decisions about his international future.
