FROM FORT PORTAL TO MOROCCO: THE RAPID ASCENT OF COACH FRED MUHUMUZA
Ugandan rising star Fred Muhumuza is appointed Assistant Coach for the Uganda Cranes ahead of AFCON 2025, bringing valuable domestic and youth experience.
Even though FUFA hasn't shared the contract details, Fred Muhumuza, a coach who's quickly making a name for himself, is joining the Uganda Cranes' coaching staff for the AFCON 2025 finals.
Muhumuza has been making big moves in Ugandan football, quickly moving up through the ranks of youth, regional, provincial, club, and national teams.
His progress in Ugandan football got more attention when he was named part of the Uganda Cranes technical team that's getting ready for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
This young coach, who's known for his careful work with clubs and his skill at studying how players grow, is now the assistant coach for AFCON.
Muhumuza is already with the Cranes in Casablanca, where the team is staying before heading to Rabat for their first Group C match against Tunisia on December 23.
He's come a long way in the last few years, doing well in local jobs and gaining the trust of important people in football.
FUFA hasn't said anything about the contract, so it's unclear how long he'll be working with the team or what his job will involve.
Those who know about these things say that it's normal for these details to be decided closer to big competitions.
Muhumuza's addition is bringing a new feel to the coaching group as it gets ready for the Cranes' Afcon plans.
His knowledge of many local players and his ability to scout out opponents are expected to go well with the team's overall plan.
Afcon 2025 is Muhumuza's biggest chance yet, and it could set the stage for the next part of his coaching career.
Muhumuza, who is in his 40s, played for Victors, SC Villa, and St. Leo’s College.
He has been a big part of youth, regional, and club teams, including winning a domestic double at Vipers SC with John Luyinda last season and leading Uganda to the Chan 2024 quarterfinals with Morley Byekwaso.

LIFE AFTER OKELLO: HOW ABDULKARIM WATAMBALA BECAME VIPERS' NEW MIDFIELD COMMANDER
Vipers SC dismantled Police FC 4-1 at Kitende, led by a stunning AbdulKarim Watambala goal to extend their lead at the UPL summit.
Vipers came out flying, up 3-0 by halftime against a stunned Police squad. Once again, AbdulKarim Watambala pulled the strings in midfield, making everything tick.
With this 4-1 thumping at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende, Vipers held onto their three-point lead at the top of the Startimes Uganda Premier League heading into the last games of the first round.
Honestly, what was supposed to be a top-of-the-table clash turned into a breeze for the defending champions. They probably played their best half of football since Ivan Minnaert took over as head coach last July.
Watambala, who’s looked like a new man since his close friend Allan Okello left, set up the opener for Milton Karisa with a clever through ball. Karisa made no mistake, poking the ball past a scrambling Mathias Muwanga in the 32nd minute.
Then came the moment of the night. Watambala picked up a pass from Enoch Ssebagala just outside the box, and with police defenders backing off, he smashed a rocket in off the underside of the crossbar. That was his third goal in two games, after his brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win over URA.
Right before halftime, Odili Chukwuma put the game to bed, heading in Usama Arafat’s cross after nutmegging Richard Matovu.
Police barely threatened all evening, but Saidi Kyeyune managed to pull one back with a low shot just four minutes into the second half. It didn’t matter much. Vipers stretched their lead again in the 77th minute, when substitute Yunus Sentamu headed the ball across for Usama to tap in their fourth.
The win pushes the Vipers to 33 points. Police drop to third with 27. KCCA move into second place after brushing aside UPDF 4-0. Sammy Ssebaduka grabbed two goals, with Joel Sserunjogi and substitute Alpha Ssali also on the scoresheet.
UPL UPDATES: KCCA FC HELD IN LUZIRA WHILE POLICE FC CLOSE THE GAP AT TOP
Police FC move to second after beating Calvary, while KCCA is held to a goalless draw by Maroons in a rusty MD13 clash.
After beating Calvary, Police moved up to second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. KCCA didn't score against Maroons, and Entebbe UPPC beat UPDF, keeping the title race close on match day 13.
Police grabbed second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League after a 2-0 win against Calvary at Kiira Road on Wednesday.
Breaks during the season are usually a time for teams to regroup and let players rest after many games in a short time. But for the Uganda Premier League, there hasn't been much going on since mid-December, partly because of the 2025 AFCON.
Today's game between Maroons and KCCA in Luzira was different. Both teams seemed out of practice, which might explain the dull game that ended with no score.
Neither team seemed ready to push for a win, and there were few chances to score.
KCCA and Maroons each played one game between December 17 and today, losing to Police and Buhimba United Saints, respectively. That's just one game in 35 days.
Maroons played a physical game, preventing KCCA from controlling the ball and playing their usual style. This could be why coach Brian Ssenyondo took out Ashraf Mugume and Saidi Mayanja at halftime, replacing them with Brian Jjara and Derrick Nsibambi.
The home team kept KCCA away from the goal, and even when they brought in another striker, Emmanuel Anyama, later in the second half, they didn't get many chances.
Maroons defended well as a team to earn a point, putting them in seventh place with 16 points.
For KCCA FC, this result is a setback in their chase for the title. They are tied for first place with 27 points, the same as Police, who beat Calvary FC, and Vipers, who have two games left.
Wednesday's results:
Maroons 0-0 KCCA
Police 2-0 Calvary
UPDF 0-1 Entebbe UPPC
