Match: Buhimba United Saints vs. KCCA FC
Date: Monday, March 2nd, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM EAT
Venue: The Royals Park – Butema, Hoima
KCCA FC returns to StarTimes Uganda Premier League action this Monday as they travel to the Western region to face Buhimba United Saints FC at The Royals Park, Butema in Hoima.
The Kasasiro Boys head into this fixture looking to maintain their momentum and complete a league double over the hosts.
In the reverse fixture held at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, KCCA FC secured a hard-fought 1-0 win, a result they hope to replicate or better away from home.
KCCA FC currently sits 5th on the log, while the hosts, Buhimba United Saints, are fighting for survival in 14th position.
The Cityzens have a boosted squad following the mid season arrival of new talent.
Both new arrivals, Axel Mezui and Kennedy Muserero, begin life in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. Muserero is part of the team in Hoima; however, Mezui has pending paperwork and thus did not make the trip to Hoima.
Their inclusion provides much-needed depth and fresh energy to the team’s attack
Statistics #BUSKCCA
This is the second ever top flight meeting between the two sides. KCCA FC leads the head to head with one win (1-0).
KCCA FC has kept a clean sheet in their previous meeting with the Saints, but they have conceded in each of their last three league games.
The Kasasiro Boys are looking to snap a three-game winless run on the road.
The hosts, Buhimba, have the leakiest defense in the league, conceding 36 times in the league this season, and have failed to score two or more goals in any of their last seven league outings.
One of the leaders of the group, Fillbert Obenchan, spoke to this website ahead of #BUSKCCA and said,
Our mentality remains the same; we want to compete and win every game we play. We know Buhimba will be a tough nut to crack at their home, but we are ready for the challenge. I am also personally happy with the arrival of Axel and Muserero. Their energy in training has been amazing, and I believe they will help us push for our goals this season.
Co-head coach Jackson Magera also spoke to this website and said,
In games like this, it is about showing up and fighting for every 50/50 chance. Buhimba is fighting for their lives, so we must be better and be clinical. We welcome Axel and Muserero to the club. They will add so much to the team’s depth and tactical flexibility.
