KCCA FC is delighted to announce the signing of highly rated striker Ivan Ahimbisibwe, affectionately known as “The Hunter,” on a two-year contract. The prolific forward joins the Kasasiro Boys from URA FC, marking KCCA FC’s first major acquisition of the summer transfer window.
Ahimbisibwe’s arrival signals a strong statement of intent from the 13-time league champions as they aim to bolster their attacking prowess and challenge for top honors in the upcoming seasons.
“Our first signing is locked in,” KCCA FC confirmed, followed by Ahimbisibwe’s confident message to the fans: “Hello, Cityzens! My name is Ivan Ahimbisibwe, the Hunter, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Ahimbisibwe comes to Lugogo on the back of an outstanding 2024/2025 StarTimes Uganda Premier League season, where he netted an impressive 16 goals for URA FC, finishing just three goals shy of the Golden Boot winner.
This is a massive step in my career, and I am ready to bring my best to Lugogo. The goal is simple, score goals, help the team win trophies, and give our fans something to celebrate. I can not wait to get started with my mates.
The move also sees a reunion between Ahimbisibwe and KCCA FC’s co-head coach, Brian Ssenyondo. The pair previously worked together at Synergy FC, where Ahimbisibwe began his career, and later at UPDF FC. The club expects this existing relationship between player and coach to lead to a smooth transition for the striker, enabling him to quickly integrate into the team’s system.
Ahimbisibwe’s career path shows a steady rise through Ugandan football. After making a name for himself at Synergy FC as the club’s all-time leading scorer with 48 goals in 3 seasons, he moved to Nyamityobora FC, where he scored 18 goals in one season.
Ivan then joined UPDF FC, where he scored 20 goals in two seasons, before his successful stint at URA FC, where he scored 26 goals in all competitions in two years.
His consistent performances have made him one of the most sought-after strikers in the league. Ivan is one of the best strikers in Uganda. He is a very humble player, and he conducts himself properly. His arrival strengthens our attack, and I am confident he will be a key player as we push to bring back silverware to KCCA. – Brian Ssenyondo (Co-Head Coach KCCA FC)
Everyone at KCCA FC welcomes Ivan ‘The Hunter’ Ahimbisibwe to KCCA FC. We cannot wait to see you get started.
