The first round of the 2025 Busoga Masaza Cup concluded over the weekend with 14 teams battling it out across four groups. A total of 31 goals have been scored in three match days, with seven teams—Busiki, Kigulu, Bukono, Buzaya, Bugabula, Bunha, and Bulamogi—finishing the round unbeaten.
Bukono and Bugweri top the overall standings with 7 points each, while Bugabula stands out as the only team with a perfect 100% win record. As attention shifts to the decisive second round, qualification battles intensify in all groups.
Group-by-Group Breakdown
Bukowe Group
Bugabula leads with 6 points and only needs a draw from two second-round matches to confirm qualification. Luuka , on 3 points, can qualify with a draw and a win. Bukooli Bugiri , still pointless, must win both remaining matches to stay alive.
Kagulu Group
All three teams—Bulamogi, Bunha, and Buzaya—are level on 2 points, having drawn all their games. With every team unbeaten and nothing separating them, a single win in the second round could be the difference between progression and elimination.
Mawembe Group
Bukono and Bugweri lead the pack with 7 points each, while Budiope (3 points) has some work to do. Bunhole Bunhanumba remains bottom and winless. For Budiope to qualify, two wins in the second round are crucial. Bukono and Bugweri , both unbeaten, only need one more positive result to confirm their quarterfinal spots.
Nendha Group
Busiki and Kigulu lead with 5 points each, followed closely by Bukooli Namayingo on 3 and Butembe on 2. With each team still in contention, this group remains the most open. The defending champions Butembe must win at least two of their three remaining games to avoid an early exit.
What Lies Ahead
With knockout spots still up for grabs and only a few points separating most teams, the second round promises drama, tension, and potential heartbreak. Teams like Bugabula , Bukono , and Bugweri may seem secure, but in football, nothing is certain until the final whistle blows.
