The FUFA Big League returns this weekend with thrilling fixtures lined up across the country, including a make-or-break clash for Busoga United as they travel west to face Arua Hill SC on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
Busoga United heads into the encounter with everything to play for. Positioned 13th on the 15-team log with 26 points from 25 matches, the team faces possible relegation should they lose and results elsewhere—particularly from MYDA FC—go against them. A victory, however, could potentially lift them out of the danger zone, depending on how MYDA performs.
Arua Hill SC, only one position above Busoga United in 12th, has amassed 28 points and is not yet clear of relegation fears itself, adding more weight to the weekend’s showdown.
Head-to-Head: Busoga’s Upper Hand
Busoga United can take confidence from recent form against Arua Hill. The two sides have clashed three times since May 2023, and Busoga has come out on top in all three meetings. Most recently, on January 5, 2025, Busoga edged Arua Hill 2-1.
Prior to that, they secured a 1-0 win in September 2023 and a commanding 4-1 victory in May 2023. Of those victories, two came in the Premier League, while one was in the Big League, showing Busoga’s dominance across competitions.
Arua Hill’s last triumph over Busoga United dates back to December 12, 2022, when they claimed a narrow 1-0 win in the Uganda Premier League. Since then, the tides have turned, and Arua will be desperate to break their losing streak against the visitors.
Title Race Heats Up
At the top of the table, the title race is reaching boiling point. Buhimba United and Calvary FC are neck-and-neck with 48 points apiece. However, Buhimba has a crucial game in hand, giving them a slight edge and hopes of clinching the league title if they maintain momentum.
As the league enters its final stretch, fans can expect drama, determination, and decisive moments across all grounds. For Busoga United, the mission is clear—win or face the drop.
