Jimmy Kalema is Kitara Football Club’s Player of the Month for September, after collecting the most votes from the fans.
The forward beat three of his teammates to the award: Frank Zaga Tumwesigye, Murushid Jjuuko and Jasper Baguma Aheebwa. As the first winner, Kalema’s name now opens the honour roll of a new tradition at the club.
Kitara launched the Player of the Month initiative on 30 September 2026. It gives supporters a direct say in which player deserves recognition and appreciation at the end of every month. For the first edition, the fans picked the man who delivered the most when it mattered.
Kalema had a strong month in front of goal. He played three games for the Royals in September and scored three goals against Mogadishu City over the two legs of the CAF Confederation Cup. Those goals helped carry Kitara through to their first ever second preliminary round where they will meet Al Ahly of Egypt.
He also played a part in the 1-1 draw with SC Villa in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, away at Wankulukuku. It was a tough trip, and Kalema was in the thick of it.
Congratulations to Kalema on a well earned award. Fans can look forward to voting again at the end of October, when a new set of players will be in the running.
