Kitara Football Club has been promoted to the 2023/24 StarTimes Uganda Premier League. The Hoima-based team confirmed their return to top-flight football after defeating a 3-0 win away to already relegated Adjumani Town Council at Paridi Stadium. Kitara first gained promotion during the 2020/21 season but got relegated in the same campaign. Goals from Paul Mucureezi, George Ssenkaaba and Paddy Muhumuza ensured the Royals collected maximum points and consequently gained promotion. Kitara came into today’s game needing just victory from the final two games to secure promotion. Mucureezi who had scored in the previous two games opened the scores two minutes after the half-hour mark with a well-curled free kick. https://twitter.com/KitarafcHoima/status/1656697254713892867 Ssenkaaba doubled the visitor’s advantage just after the break thanks to a good assist from Mucureezi. Veteran midfielder Muhumuza put the game beyond Adjumani’s reach with a header in the 66th minute off Moses Sseruyidde’s free kick. The win takes Kitara to 58 points and will need to defeat Kaaro Karungi at home in the final game of the season to clinch the FUFA Big League title.
