Malinga, returning for a fifth stint, arrives buoyed by recent success after guiding Amus College to the USSSA Boys Football Championship. He will be assisted by Richard Kansole and Hakim Ssenkumba, with Tumusime Zzaga appointed goalkeeping coach. Nicholas Ssengoba joins as team doctor, while John Bosco Lubyayi Sseguya takes on the role of team manager.

Despite their decorated history, Mawokota have endured a 13-year drought since their last triumph in 2013, when Farouk Miya’s solitary strike sealed a 1-0 win over Ssingo in the final. Their earlier titles came in 2005 and 2007, cementing their status among Buganda football’s elite.

The 2026 campaign begins on June 21 against Kyaggwe at Buwama Playgrounds, a stern opening test against Ronald Ssali’s side. Mawokota have been drawn in the Masengere Group alongside record champions Gomba Lions, three-time winners Bulemeezi, 2022 champions Busiro, and Ssese.

With an experienced technical bench and renewed ambition, supporters will hope Malinga can finally deliver a fourth crown and end more than a decade of waiting.
