Zaga starts the season on a high for Kitara
Kitara midfielder Frank Zaga Tumwesigye has begun the 2026/27 season in fine form and is already catching the eye of fans.
He has started all four games Kitara have played so far, in the CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round and the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
In the first leg against Mogadishu City FC, which Kitara won 2-1, Zaga played well and set up the move that led to Jimmy Kalema’s second goal. He was even better in the 2-0 win in the return leg against the Somali side. He scored Kitara’s second goal and put up a man of the match display.
That result sent the Royals into the second preliminary round for the first time in their history, where they will face African giants Al Ahly next month for a place in the group stage.
In the league, Kitara have played only two games, but Zaga has already made his mark. He scored in the 1-1 draw with Express FC, earning the team a point to take back to Hoima.
Last season, Zaga finished with one goal in the Uganda Cup and four assists in the league. He has started this campaign well, and if he keeps up this level, he is one to watch.
