StarTimes Uganda Premier League 4PM || Hoima City stadium
Hoima City Stadium will witness its first-ever league match this Friday as Kitara FC welcomes Buhimba United Saints for a decisive Bunyoro derby.
The Royals successfully secured relocation of this fixture from Royals Park to the 20,000 seater stadium which was inaugurated by H.E. President Museveni in December 2025.
Edson Agondeze, whose header decided Buhimba’s 1-0 win in the reverse fixture, now wears Kitara colors. His transfer strengthens our quest for payback against a Saints side sitting in 14th place (15 points), winless in their last eight straight matches. They last won at home against Maroons on January 6th.
Kitara’s relentless form unbeaten in 2026 sees us charging in second place just four points behind leaders Vipers.
Coach George William Lutalo declared:
“We’ve transformed since that first leg loss. With our fans behind us at this historic venue, we’re ready to go for the three points.”
Six former Kitara players ( David Kasaija, Maxwell Owachgiu, Eric Muber, Jamil Kiyimba, Charles Kyomuhendo, Derrick Byabachwezi) in Buhimba’s squad seek to prove their earlier win was no fluke, but the Royals enter buoyed by last week’s breakthrough victory at Mbarara City.
Yunus Sibira formerly at Buhimba returns from suspension to bolster our midfield.
A victory consolidates our title charge and extends Buhimba’s misery.
