Kitara FC have confirmed the departure of eight players as the club continues reshaping its squad for the new season. Headlining the exits is defensive midfielder Yunus Sibira, who has completed a move to KCCA FC.
Sibira arrived at the Royals from Buhimba United Saints in September 2025 and wasted no time establishing himself as a key figure in the side. He ended up as the club’s second most used player last season, behind only captain Jasper Aheebwa Baguma, making 34 appearances in all competitions ,29 in the Uganda Premier League and 5 in the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
Sibira contributed two goals and an assist, and helped Kitara win the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
Shaban Muhammad has also left the club, with both parties agreeing to part ways by mutual consent.
Elsewhere, two goalkeepers James Alitho and Aziz Saleh join Frank Kasumba, Eric Tumwine, Sadiq Ssekyembe and Amir Kakomo in departing the club after their release, meaning none of the eight will be part of Kitara’s plans heading into the new campaign.
The club thanks all the eight players for their contributions and wish them well in the next stage of their careers.
Once a Royal, always a Royal. 🛑
