YMCA v KU, Agg (0-0)
Thursday
SLAU v Muteesa, Agg (0-0)
The race for a spot in the Pepsi University Football League final reaches boiling point today as YMCA Comprehensive Institute host Kampala University (KU) in a decisive semifinal second leg in Buwambo, Wakiso.
With the first leg ending in a tense stalemate, the contest shifts to YMCA’s backyard where belief is growing that an upset could be on the cards. The debut semifinalists have built their campaign on resilience and organization, and now stand just one game away from an unlikely place in the final.
Head coach Fransico Ejuku has rallied his side to seize the moment, insisting their ability to shut out KU in the first leg proves they can go all the way. Backed by home support, YMCA will look to turn discipline into dominance and write a new chapter in their rising story.
Players like Banton Kaganzi, Farouk Wasswa, Ratib Ramadan, and goalkeeper Kelvin Ssenabulya are expected to carry that momentum, having played a crucial role in keeping KU at bay previously.
But KU are no strangers to high-stakes football. With two titles already in their history, they enter the clash with experience and a clear path to the final—any scoring draw will be enough to send them through.
Coach Vincent Tumusiime remains confident his side can handle the pressure, trusting in the attacking quality of Mark Ebong, Raymond Kiweewa, Gideon Nsubuga, and James Epaja to unlock YMCA’s stubborn defence.
As the two sides collide, it sets up a classic battle of ambition versus experience, with a place in the final hanging in the balance.
