With the international break done, all eyes now turn to our opening match of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League 2024/25 season away in Najjembe against Lugazi FC on Saturday.

Saddiq Ssempigi’s side will welcome us to the Lugazi Stadium with ambitions of making a good a start to the top flight having gained promotion for the first time in their history, with the Royals equally charged up to begin their campaign on a high.

Jude Ssemugabi and Denis Omedi represented the national team excellently and escaped without any injury but further updates on their availability will be revealed by the team manager Brian Ssenyondo in his pre match interview on Friday.

Kitara Team News:

Defenders Benjamin Nyakoojo and Dudu Ramadan are currently in the treatment room still recovering for injury thus won’t be available for the Royals.

Furthermore, Monday Denis picked a knock in our friendly match against Kinyara FC last weekend. He remains on the sidelines and will miss this trip.

George Senkaaba is on compassionate leave but is expected to join the team next week.

Frank Yiga who missed most of the second round of last season with a muscle problem is back and is ready selection.

Our new signings could make their Royals’ debut if selected for duty. They have been brilliant in the pre season and it’s up to the technical team to make the best choice on Saturday.
