Stanbic Uganda Cup Final 30 -May-2026:Kitara FC vs SC Villa 3pm Njeru
The stage is set for an important showdown this Saturday, 30th May 2026, as Kitara FC prepares to battle SC Villa in the Stanbic Uganda Cup Final at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru. With a second Cup title in their sights, the Royals are ready to write another glorious chapter in their ascending history.
Our journey to the final has been nothing short of remarkable. Kitara has marched through the competition with unwavering focus and defensive solidity, conceding just one goal across the entire campaign.
The quest began with a hard fought 1-0 away victory over Obule Earthquake FC sealed by a decisive strike from youngster John Bosco Byaruhanga. Momentum built with a 2-0 win over Entebbe UPPC, followed by a commanding 6-0 triumph over Bunyaruguru FC and a convincing 3-0 quarter final performance against Express FC. Kitara then eliminated current holders Vipers in the semi finals after a 1-1 draw to arrive at this pinnacle.
This final is a fascinating duel against an organized SC Villa. While both sides narrowly missed out on the league title this season, the Uganda Cup offers a prestigious chance to crown the year with silverware.
We fondly remember our first Cup meeting with Villa; a convincing 2-0 victory in 2024 in the round of 16 at the Masindi stadium but as Coach Wasswa Bbosa emphasizes, past results are just history.
” We play a good side, we respect them and we are going to put up a spirited fight,” said the coach. “We have a different approach for every game. I believe the best prepared team will carry the day.”
The team’s balance is clear, with 13 goals scored and just one conceded in the competition. Leading the charge upfront is George Senkaaba, the tournament’s top scorer for Kitara with four goals, ably supported by Emmanuel Alex Wasswa on three.
” We are determined to keep the chase,” Bbosa added. “We have prepared very well. Every team that reaches the final anticipates victory, just like we do.”
Beyond the glittering trophy lies the grand prize: the opportunity to represent Uganda in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup. Kitara knows the feeling of Cup glory, having lifted its first trophy in 2024 with a dramatic late goal. On Saturday, history will be made once more.
