FUFA TO PILOT NEW COMPETITION STRUCTURE IN KAMPALA REGIONAL LEAGUE
FUFA will pilot its new three-round league format in the 2025/26 Kampala Regional League after abandoning it in the top flight. The 18 clubs will receive over UGX 800m in funding, with the champion earning UGX 20m.
As a pilot study for the 2025–2026 season, FUFA has confirmed that the Kampala Regional League (third division) will test the new league model.
It should be mentioned that the Uganda Premier League was the first to use the suggested league, which is played over three rounds, at the beginning of the season.
However, fans who opted to skip games put up a strong fight against the League. Vipers SC refused to accept the suggested format, stuck to their guns, and really forfeited the match against Kitara FC at Namboole, while the other 15 clubs chose to play.
FUFA decided on Saturday to go back to the previous two-round home-and-away format. The decision to transfer some of the modifications to the Regional League was made by the FUFA Executive Committee three days later.
The 18 Kampala Regional Football Association 3rd Division Clubs have consented to use the split league structure for the 2025–06 season, according to the FUFA Executive Committee. More than 800 million Ugandan shillings will be provided by FUFA to cover the Kampala Regional League's 18 teams' operational expenses, referees, locker-room incentives, prize money, and man-of-the-match awards. Up to 20 million Ugandan shillings will be awarded to the league champion. reads a FUFA statement.
Each of the 18 teams participating in the Kampala Regional League will play 17 games in the first round. Based on their performance in the first round, the teams will then be divided into two groups of nine. At this point, home and away games will be played.
The top six players from the teams that placed in the top nine will advance to the championship round. Together with the top three teams from the bottom group of nine, the three remaining teams will compete for a spot. Following that, the six teams in the lowest group will battle to avoid relegation.
Depending on who hosted in the first round, the host team will be chosen for the one-leg third round.
Referee allowances will be paid by FUFA; in rounds one and two, each game will cost UGX 100,000, and in the third round, UGX 200,000.
A cash prize of UGX 50,000 in round one, UGX 100,000 in round two, and UGX 200,000 in round three will be awarded to the Man of the Match winner.
Twenty match balls will be given to each club. It should be mentioned that the regional league clubs nationwide received five balls on Monday.
Up to 50 games, including doubleheader matches, will also be broadcast on FUFA TV from important venues such as Kyambogo University, Mutesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku, MTN-Omondi Lugogo, Yes Centre, Nsambya, Kira Road Police Arena, and FUFA Kadiba Stadium.
The club executives who met with FUFA on Tuesday were also informed that a total of UGX 130 million in prize money was up for grabs, with the winners potentially earning up to UGX 20,000,000.
The 18 Kampala Regional League clubs will also receive UGX 8 million as part of the preparations, and players will begin receiving locker-room incentives in round two, which will increase to UGX 20,000 for each victory and UGX 50,000 in round three.
KCCA BOUNCE BACK: KASASIRO BOYS OVERCOME RECENT SLUMP WITH A GRITTY 2-1 BUL WIN
KCCA are back: Discover how Ivan Ahimbisibwe and Herbert Achai secured a 2-1 win over Bul to rejoin the UPL title race.
Ivan Ahimbisibwe and Herbert Achai both found the net for KCCA, either side of a Denis Sewagudde goal, in a win that really should let coaches Ssenyondo and Jackson Magera breathe a little easier.
Zeal. Hunger. Character. Attitude. That’s what KCCA coach Brian Ssenyondo wanted to see after his team got handed their third loss in five games last week, a 3-1 defeat to NEC that stung. This time, he finally got it. KCCA showed all those qualities and pulled off a gritty 2-1 victory over Bul in the Uganda Premier League at Phillip Omondi Stadium on Wednesday night.
Ahimbisibwe and Achai scored for KCCA, with Sewagudde briefly levelling for Bul, and the result means Ssenyondo and Magera can at least feel the pressure lift for now.
But maybe more importantly, this win drags KCCA back into the title race. They’re now sitting on 33 points from 17 games, just five behind leaders Vipers.
The game started off tight, both sides feeling each other out, but Bul looked a little sharper early on. Even so, it was KCCA who broke the deadlock in the 31st minute with their first real chance. They overloaded the right, Saidi Mayanja whipped in a cross, and Ahimbisibwe, timing his run just right, dived in for a header. That’s his seventh goal of the season, and honestly, he’s been one of the few bright spots among the club’s new signings.
KCCA then had to dig in. Achai made a crucial block to deny Karim Ndugwa after a cross from Reagan Kalyowa. But just before halftime, the tricky Sewagudde bent in a free kick that completely wrong-footed KCCA keeper Mutwalibi Mugolofa, and Bul were level.
After the break, KCCA rediscovered their missing edge. Four minutes into the second half, left-back Achai stormed forward, played a quick one-two with Ashraf Mugume, then hammered the ball past Bul’s Ikara at the near post.
From there, KCCA held Bul at bay, sealing a rare home-and-away double over their Njeru-based rivals, who remain eighth on 20 points.
Earlier that day, Lugazi captain Richard Ayiko grabbed the winner as his side edged UPDF 1-0 in Najjembe, giving them a six-point cushion above the relegation zone. And at the bottom, Calvary finally picked up their fifth point of the season with a goalless draw against Express in Yumbe.
TITLE RACE HEAT: HOW VIPERS DROPPING HOME POINTS GIVES KITARA A CHANCE TO STRIKE
Vipers SC stay top of the UPL with 38 points! Discover how Warren Buule’s equaliser for NEC FC shook up the title race at Kitende.
NEC are stuck in seventh place with 24 points from 17 games. Vipers, even after dropping home points for just the second time this season, hang on to the top spot with 38.
Honestly, NEC have drawn more games than they'd like, nine out of 17. That’s a lot of stalemates in the Startimes Uganda Premier League. But this time, their 1-1 draw away to the reigning champs, Vipers, felt like more than just another point. It actually meant something, especially under the lights at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende on Tuesday evening.
Vipers came out flying. They grabbed the lead early and pretty much ran the first half. Six minutes in, Milton Karisa latched onto a slick through ball from Karim Watambala and curled a lovely left-footed shot past NEC keeper Hannington Ssebwalunyo. That was Karisa’s sixth goal of the season, and for a minute there, it looked like the Vipers were about to run riot, just like they did in their 4-0 demolition of Buhimba last time at home.
NEC looked shaky. Coach Badru Kaddu had seen enough and made two early changes, bringing on Shamir Kimwero and Joseph Dhata for Rashid Kawawa and Daniel Shabene inside 25 minutes. The switch helped steady things, but NEC didn’t really come to life until the second half.
Then, with 15 minutes left, substitute Emmanuel Kulanga swung in a cross, and Warren Buule was there at the far post to head in the equaliser. That goal was well earned; NEC were much better after the break. Richard Basangwa, playing up front, kept his old team busy and even got Bady Da Silva and Enoch Ssebagala booked. Ssebagala didn’t last much longer, getting subbed off after a rough tackle on his former side.
NEC has been busy in the mid-season transfer window. They’ve already added six new faces, and more are on the way. Sam Ssekamatte, who scored five goals for UPDF in the first round, watched from the stands with the rest of the unused squad.
So, NEC holds on to seventh, Vipers stay top, but Kitara could shake things up if they beat URA on Thursday. This title race isn’t done yet.
