In a historic move that underscores the growing global footprint of Ugandan football talent, Angolan Girabola powerhouse G.D. Interclube has officially secured the signature of explosive attacking midfielder Peter Lwasa.
The 27-year-old playmaker moves to the Luanda-based outfit from Tanzanian Premier League side Pamba Jiji FC, bringing an end to his successful spell in East Africa and breaking fresh ground as the first-ever Ugandan footballer to feature in the Angolan top flight.
A Vipers Connection in Luanda
Lwasa will not be walking into the Interclube dressing room entirely alone. In an exciting twist for Ugandan football followers, he will be joined at the club by Angolan winger Pedro Honjo Chimbiambiulo, popularly known to local fans as Sukuya.
Sukuya, who spent a notable stint in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League with Vipers SC, has also finalized his move to Interclube. Having experienced life in the Ugandan top flight, Sukuya’s presence at the club offers an instant tactical chemistry and a familiar link for Lwasa as they look to terrorize Girabola defenses together.
Interclube’s double swoop is being viewed across Southern Africa as a definitive statement of ambition. Known for his elite vision, blistering pace, and tactical versatility across the frontline, Lwasa is expected to immediately inject top-tier creativity into the Interclube engine room.
The Luanda giants aren’t just looking to compete this season—they are building a formidable force, and the Lwasa-Sukuya partnership is central to that puzzle.
Lwasa’s historic move to Angola is the culmination of a stellar nomadic career across the East and Central African football landscapes.
He first made major waves in the Kenya Premier League with Sofapaka and Kariobangi Sharks.
He cemented his reputation as an elite attacker at Gor Mahia, where he racked up a stunning 21 goals and 18 assists across two seasons.
Following brief stints with DR Congo’s Lupopo and a homecoming package with Uganda Premier League giants KCCA FC, Lwasa took his talents to Tanzania.
He signed for Kagera Sugar before joining Pamba Jiji FC in Mwanza, his consistent performances caught the eyes of scouts further south, prompting Interclube to trigger this major coup.
For Ugandan football fans, Lwasa’s transition to the Angolan Girabola opens up an entirely new territory for the national ecosystem to watch. The Angolan league is notoriously physical, fast-paced, and technically demanding—attributes that perfectly align with Lwasa’s explosive style of play.
As the “Lwasa Era” officially kicks off in Luanda, all eyes from Kitende to Kampala will be fixed on southwest Africa to see how Uganda’s pioneering midfielder commands his new kingdom alongside a familiar face in Sukuya.
