Paidha Black Angels Football Club is on the cusp of a stunning comeback to the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, five years after their last appearance and three years after battling in the regional third tier. The Zombo District-based club is sitting in 5th position on 43 points with just two matches remaining.
Crucial Fixtures Ahead
This Sunday, Paidha Black Angels host Kiyinda Boys at the Bar Okoro Stadium in Zombo. A win would elevate them to 46 points, keeping them firmly in the promotion race. Their final match on June 21, 2025, will be a decisive clash away to Calvary FC in Yumbe.
Promotion Equations
For Paidha’s dream to remain alive, they’ll need a bit of help from elsewhere. A slip-up by Calvary FC in their West Nile derby against Onduparaka FC would play perfectly into Paidha’s hands. A draw between Gaddafi FC and Blacks Power in their high-stakes clash would also give Paidha a clearer path to promotion.
Key Players
Leading the charge for the Angels is top scorer Benjamin Opakrwoth, joined by a committed core of key players including Fredrick Mayindi, Joel Jangeyambe, Faizo Kazibwe, and others. The team’s journey is one of determination, revival, and unwavering faith.
Dream Alive
With complex equations and razor-thin margins, Paidha Black Angels’ promotion dream is still alive. A win in their remaining fixtures, combined with favorable results elsewhere, could see them celebrating a return to the Premier League.
