For KCCA Netball Club, the 2025 season was less about promises and more about purpose. From the first whistle of the campaign, the Lugogo-based side set about reshaping their identity from perennial contenders to champions-in-waiting driven by structure, patience and a growing sense that this could finally be their year.
That belief was rewarded on a tense final day at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo, where KCCA edged Prisons Netball Club 44–41 in a high-stakes showdown that encapsulated their season: hard-fought, composed under pressure and decided by collective resolve. The victory sealed KCCA’s first-ever national league title, a landmark achievement for a club that has steadily built towards this moment.

For KCCA Netball Club, this championship is more than silverware. It is validation of years of steady growth and a clear signal that a new force has arrived at the summit of Ugandan netball.
