TUESDAY PREVIEW: PAUL PUT PREPARES UGANDA FOR DECISIVE FINAL AFCON GROUP CLASH
Uganda must beat Nigeria to reach the AFCON 2025 knockouts. Discover Paul Put’s strategy and Jordan Obita’s call for belief in Fes.
Paul Put's team is heading to Stade de Fes, aiming for a win. This victory could get them into the round of 16 either as Group C's second-place team or as one of the top four third-place teams in the 24-team contest.
"We're up against a really good team," Put said. They were in the final at the last Cup of Nations, and they've won both matches here in Morocco.
We know how good the Nigerian players are. A lot of them play in big leagues in Europe, so we need to be super focused.
But we know what's at stake. It won't be easy; it will be tough. But if we put in the effort, anything's possible.
Tunisia is playing Tanzania in Rabat on Tuesday night. They beat Uganda 3-1 in their first game on December 23.
In their second game, Uganda drew 1-1 with Tanzania after Allan Okello missed a late penalty.
"We had a great chance to win," said Uganda defender Jordan Obita. But it didn't happen.
We can't be scared of going into the Nigeria game. We have to believe we can do something, and that's what we're going to do.
Uganda reached the last 16 in 2019 in Egypt—the first time the Africa Cup of Nations had 24 teams.
But the country's teams didn't make it into the competitions in Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire after that.
In 2027, Uganda will host the event with Kenya and Uganda. Obita mentioned that the players in the Uganda team want to show what they're made of at the 2025 contest.
"Everyone back home in Uganda needs to see that we can compete with the best countries in the world," said the 32-year-old, who plays for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership.
When we played Algeria in the World Cup qualifiers, it showed we can go head-to-head with top-tier countries and players.
Nigeria's coach, Eric Chelle, was secretive on Monday about who would be on his team Tuesday night.
"I'm keeping my plans to myself," said the 48-year-old former Mali player. A lot of players deserve a chance on this team.
I make hard choices for every match. I've got two or three teams in mind.
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.
POWER SHIFT: CITY OILERS RECLAIM DOMINANCE WITH 74-65 VICTORY OVER DEFENDING CHAMPIONS
City Oilers make a statement! Discover how new signings Joel Lukoji and Landry Ndikumana dismantled the defending NBL champions.
Ndikumana didn’t just show up—he made sure everyone knew he was back in Uganda, dropping 17 points, grabbing eight boards, and tossing three assists.
For the first time ever, City Oilers find themselves chasing instead of leading the pack in the National Basketball League. Last season, they handed over their championship crown to the Namuwongo Blazers, losing the finals 4-2. That loss stung.
Now, the Blazers are the top dogs everyone wants to knock off. But on opening night, the Oilers got their revenge, handing Stephen Nyeko’s squad their first loss of the season.
From the jump, the ten-time champs looked sharp. They ran the Blazers ragged and made a statement—this team isn’t done yet.
The Oilers’ new signings—Ndikumana, Joel Lukoji, and Joel Kayiira—gave a taste of why the team is so hyped for this season. Ndikumana, the former MVP, shot three-of-seven from deep and four-of-eight overall as the Oilers took down their rivals 74-65.
The Oilers had a plan for the Blazers: steal their best player. They signed last season’s MVP, Lukoji, and he torched his old team for 12 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.
Andrew Tendo’s squad started strong, leading 18-10 after the first quarter and holding a 35-32 edge at halftime. In the third, they blew the game open with an 18-8 run, quieting the Blazers fans.
Late in the game, Henry Ssebagala knocked down back-to-back threes for the Blazers, making the score look a little closer, but the Oilers were in control all night.
Baale lit it up.
Fayed Baale, wearing the legendary number 8 jersey—famous because of Ugandan basketball icon Ben Komakech—put on a show of his own. Komakech, now Tendo’s assistant and also coaching at KCCA Leopards, watched as Baale took over, pouring in 20 points and hitting four threes.
Whenever the Blazers tried to make a run, the Oilers’ point guards answered, keeping their team ahead. Captain Titus Lual came off the bench and chipped in with 12 points and seven rebounds.
The Blazers weren’t at full strength. They missed three starters from last year: Lukoji left for the Oilers, Tonny Drileba is injured, and Anthony Chukwurah hasn’t arrived from Nigeria. The champs struggled, plain and simple. Only Peter Obleng (11 points) and Moses Mugisha (10) hit double figures.
Earlier, the season tipped off with the JT Lady Jaguars crushing the Pearl Queens 74-29. That one was never close.
