FUFA Super 8 (Semi Final)
Kitara vs KCCA FC
7pm, Hamz Nakivubo
The Royals are one step away from a maiden appearance in the FUFA Super 8 final, and they will be looking to take that step on Monday night when they welcome KCCA FC to Hamz Nakivubo.
Kitara punched their ticket to the semis in style, seeing off Police FC 4-1 on aggregate. The job was done early, with a commanding 4-0 win in the first leg giving the Royals enough cushion to absorb a 1-0 loss in the return fixture last Thursday.
Head coach Wasswa Bbosa says the team have gone back to the drawing board on defence ahead of the KCCA test. “We didn’t get the result we wanted in the return leg against Police, good enough the team had done the job in the first encounter. We conceded a goal but we want to see that we do defend better against KCCA. They are a good side but we have made some corrections and we are ready for the game,” he said.
KCCA scraped past BUL FC 4-2 on aggregate, needing both legs to get the job done. It sets up another shot at Kitara, who they will be desperate to avenge after their last meeting in this same competition.
Back in 2024, Kitara knocked KCCA out of this very competition, edging the Lugogo side 4-3 on aggregate.
A win on Monday sends the Royals into their first ever FUFA Super 8 final, where they will await the winner of NEC FC’s semi against either SC Villa or Maroons.
