As the 2025/26 season enters its decisive months, KCCA FC has beefed up both its playing personnel and technical bench. The “Kasasiro Boys” have introduced fresh faces to Lugogo, signalling their intent to strengthen the squad and return to glory days.
New Faces, New Numbers
The mid-season transfer window saw the arrival of two promising talents tasked with sharpening the team’s edge. The club has confirmed the following shirt numbers:
- Axel Mezui (Shirt #23): The Gabonese attacking midfielder arrives from Gabonese side Football Canon 105 and takes over the number 23 jersey.
- Kennedy Muserero (Shirt #39): Joining from Kampala Regional League side Edgars FC, the towering 6’2” forward has been handed shirt number 39. Muserero was a sensation in the first half of the season, netting 16 goals before making the jump to the top flight.
Technical Bench Reinforcement
To support the technical team led by the co-coaching duo of Jackson Magera Kaddu and Brian Ssenyondo, the club has appointed Simeon Massa as an assistant coach.
Massa, a respected figure in Ugandan coaching circles, brings tactical depth and experience to the technical team.
