Busoga Province will be aiming to complete a season double over Kigezi Province when the two sides clash this Sunday, 28 December 2025, in a decisive FUFA Drum Group C encounter at Kabale Municipal Stadium.
Kick-off is set for 4:00pm, with Busoga, Kigezi and Bunyoro Province all tied on three points after two matches. Busoga currently top the group by a narrow goal difference advantage, making Sunday’s fixture vital in shaping the final group standings.
The Eastern Uganda side travel to Kabale carrying confidence from a 2–0 victory over Kigezi in the first leg played on 31 August 2025 at St John Vocational Technical Institute in Kamuli. Goals from Isaac Wagoina and Laban Tibita sealed that win, and Busoga will be hoping for a repeat performance away from home.
However, history poses a challenge. Busoga are yet to record a victory in Western Uganda, having managed two draws and suffered two defeats on previous visits. Despite this, head coach Ayiekho Charles Lukula believes his side is ready to turn the page.
“We respect Kigezi and the history in Western Uganda, but this is a new moment for our team. The players summoned will deliver,” Ayiekho said.
Kigezi, meanwhile, will be relying on home advantage and recent form after edging Bunyoro Province 3–2 in their previous group fixture on Saturday, 20 December 2025. The hosts will be eager to avenge their Kamuli defeat and tighten their grip on Group C.
