Kitara has confirmed changes in 9 of their jersey numbers which has been brought about by the new double licensing rule introduced by the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA).
This initiative means that a player can hold two licenses, enabling them to represent both a team in the UPL and another in the Big League.
The double licensing is only open to players below the age of twenty, who fall within a pool of 80 potential elite players selected from the FUFA Juniors league and other youth competitions.
Prior to tbe start of the league, we had officially confirmed our 2023/24 shirt numbers but 9 players have had their original jersey numbers switched in alignment with above mentioned rule which okays the U-20 players to occupy shirts numbers from 25 and above in a team.
The changes came into effect in our Uganda premier league opening game versus SC Villa last Friday which we won 2-1.
Our team skipper Maxwell Owachigiu leaves his famous shirt number 32 for the jersey 21 which belonged to Stewart Akugizibwe who has since left the club.
Clinton Kamugisha leaves shirt 10 and will wear number 29 while Kabon Living is our new shirt 10.
Youthful defender David Kasaija drops the jersey number 2 and takes 25. Fellow defender Ibrahim Magandaazi is the new shirt 2 owner.
Our latest addition Najib Yiga has will sport shirt Number 22. Samson Kasozi switches from number 40 to jersey number 26.
Midfielder Paddy Muhumuza originally donned the number 31 but now takes jersey 20 which belonged to Edson Agondeze who left last month.
27 was free after defender Farouk Katongole wore it last season however, Lazaro Muhindo is the new owner.
