As the 2025 MTN Busoga Masaza Cup enters its crucial third weekend, fans across the region are in for an action-packed set of fixtures, with reigning champions, historical rivalries, and early group dominance at stake. Six mouthwatering matches are lined up across Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd August, all kicking off at 4:00 PM.

Busiki vs Butembe – Kisiki College, Namutumba (LIVE on Baba TV)

All eyes will be on Namutumba as 2023 champions Busiki host two-time winners Butembe in what promises to be a blockbuster clash.

Busiki currently tops the Nendha Group with four points from two games – a 3-0 thrashing of Bukooli Namayingo at home and a 1-1 draw away to Kigulu. Butembe, however, find themselves in unfamiliar territory, trailing the group with just a single point. Their campaign began with a goalless draw against Kigulu but took a dip following a 2-1 loss to Bukooli Namayingo.

This fixture is a replay of the 2023 final where Busiki edged Butembe 1-0, thanks to a decisive strike from Ismail Ndifuna, beating then-goalkeeper Peter Kadama at Kakindu Stadium.

Busiki’s home form remains formidable. They have a 100% win record at Kisiki College, extending from last season where they beat Budiope, Bulamogi, and Bugweri. In contrast, Butembe’s away form has been poor – collecting just a single point from their last three away matches across two seasons.

Players to Watch: Busiki’s talisman Euku Simon and Butembe’s midfield dynamo Enos Kusola.

Bukono vs Bunhole Bunhanumba – Ivukulula Sub-County Playground

Bukono, last year’s runners-up, continue to impress this season with four points from two matches – a 2-0 win away against Budiope and a goalless home draw with Bugweri.

They’ll once again enjoy home advantage, where they last defeated Bunhole Bunhanumba 1-0 in the 2024 edition. Bunhole, meanwhile, are still seeking consistency after a slow start.

 Bugabula vs Luuka – Kamuli Municipal Stadium

Bugabula returns home after an impressive 2-0 away win over Bukooli Bugiri, while Luuka will arrive confident following a 3-0 victory against the same opponent at Busalamu Primary School.

This matchup will pit two in-form sides against each other, both having shown goal-scoring prowess early on.

 Key Players: Edgar Magombe (Bugabula) and Farouk Kalogo (Luuka), expected to run the show in midfield.

 Buzaya vs Bulamogi – Lwanyama Primary School Playground

Neither of these sides have lifted the Masaza Cup before, but Buzaya look a solid unit at home. Last season, they won all their home games and this year started with a home draw against Bunha.

Bulamogi, on the other hand, has a worrying away record, losing all their road games last season, including a 6-0 thrashing. This fixture offers Buzaya a golden chance to secure three points.

 Kigulu vs Bukooli Namayingo – Iganga Saza Ground (LIVE on Baba TV)

Kigulu, with two points from two games, will look to maintain their unbeaten home record. They’ve historically been hard to beat at the Saza Ground, drawing twice and winning once in the last edition.

Bukooli Namayingo responded well after an opening 3-0 defeat to Busiki, defeating Butembe 2-1 at home last weekend. However, their away form remains weak, with no away victories registered in the last two editions.

 Bugweri vs Budiope – Busesa Mixed Primary School Ground

This fixture is more than just a group stage clash – it’s a battle for redemption. Bugweri and Bukono are level at 4 points, while Budiope sits just behind with 3.

These teams last met in August 2024 and drew 1-1 at the same venue. However, Budiope stormed into the knockout stages at Bugweri’s expense, adding emotional fuel to this weekend’s tie. A win for either side could be pivotal in group standings.
