KCCA FC will turn their attention to the Uganda Cup today, hosting FUFA Big League side Onduparaka at Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, in a Round of 16 clash that could define their season.
The Kasasiro Boys come into the match brimming with confidence after a six-game winning streak across all competitions, including two commanding league victories in which they scored six goals without conceding. Their momentum could make them a tough hurdle for Onduparaka, who are struggling near the bottom of the FUFA Big League and face a daunting challenge to stay competitive against a resurgent top-flight side.
Key performers Ivan Ahimbisibwe and Saidi Mayanja have been pivotal to KCCA’s attacking revival, both scoring in three consecutive matches. Their form will put Onduparaka’s defence under immense pressure if they hope to force an upset.
For KCCA, who jointly hold the record for the most Uganda Cup titles with 10 alongside Express FC, the competition offers a chance at redemption after last season’s final defeat to Vipers SC. With the Uganda Premier League title race intensifying and Vipers currently five points clear, the Uganda Cup may now represent KCCA’s most realistic shot at silverware this season.
