In a swift and mature response to unexpected disruptions, Kigulu Chiefdom Football Club has officially shifted its home ground from Iganga Saza Ground to Iganga Technical Institute Playground . The move comes amid ongoing developments at the Saza ground, spearheaded by Iganga United FC, without prior consultation with Kigulu FC.
In a formal letter dated 31st July 2025, the Katukiro’s office in Obwa Ngobi Bwa Kigulu, through the Ministry of Sports, informed the technical organizing committee of the MTN Busoga Masaza Cup about the venue change. The letter, signed by Lukwita Michael, confirmed that Kigulu FC would no longer host matches at Iganga Saza Ground due to unannounced grading and pitch preparation activities initiated by Iganga United FC for their internal programs.
“It has come to our notice that Iganga United FC has commenced grading and preparation of the Saza pitch without prior consultation or communication to the Kigulu executive team,” the letter reads in part. “While this development was abrupt and inconsiderate, the Kigulu executive has chosen not to escalate the situation, but rather act with maturity in the spirit of sportsmanship and unity.”
The statement emphasized that the change was necessary to ensure uninterrupted participation in the prestigious MTN Busoga Masaza Cup while upholding the dignity and order of the tournament.
Kigulu FC will now host its matches at the Iganga Technical Institute Playground, a venue described as accessible, secure, and fit for high-level competitive football. The team has committed to ensuring smooth coordination and hospitality for all fixtures at their new home.
The change takes immediate effect, with Kigulu set to host Bukooli Namayingo at their new ground this Sunday, 3rd August, in what promises to be an electrifying clash.
