Uganda Cup Round of 16
Today, 7pm
SC Villa v Maroons
Tomorrow
URA v Tapoh
Express v Red Devos
The spotlight shifts to FUFA Stadium, Kadiba this afternoon where Maroons FC have a chance to rewrite the script against SC Villa in the Stanbic Uganda Cup Round of 16.
While Villa come into the tie with recent dominance—including a league win over the Luzira side—this contest carries a different edge. Maroons have quietly rebuilt momentum, going five matches unbeaten and sharpening belief that they can topple one of Uganda’s most decorated clubs when it matters most.
For the prison warders’ side, this is more than just progression—it’s a shot at making a statement. Their recent form suggests a team growing in confidence, discipline, and resilience, qualities they will need against a Villa side that has historically had the upper hand in this fixture.
On the other end, Villa’s season now hinges heavily on knockout football. With the Uganda Premier League title race slipping further out of reach, the Cup has become their clearest path to success. That pressure could either fuel their performance—or open the door for a surprise.
Elsewhere, results have already shaped the quarterfinal picture. KCCA FC stormed through with a dominant win over Onduparaka, NEC FC saw off Lugazi, while Kitara comfortably beat Bunyaruguru. Happy Boys also advanced after a tense penalty shootout victory over Six O’clock.
All eyes now turn to Mengo, where form meets desperation—and only one side will keep their Cup dream alive.
