Uganda Christian University (UCU) Cardinals are set to lock horns with Makerere University Business School in the semifinals of the ongoing 2023-24 University Football League campaign.

The two teams met in the last seasons in the classification game and UCU came out victorious taking home bronze while MUBS finished fourth.

The development has been confirmed during the ceremony where the semi-final draws were held today Friday, March 15, 2023.

Shortly after the draws, UCU Cardinals captain Geoffrey Gaganga revealed that MUBS would be a great challenge however their target remains taking the trophy.

“I am glad that we made it to the semifinals of the league. I thank everyone who has been part of our journey. Having confirmed that we shall play MUBS in the next game, I expect a good game,” he said.

“I do not know much about MUBS but I am sure if a team comes this far then they are a good team. We have been preparing to play any side and so we are ready for the challenge ahead,” he added.

“Our target remains the same since the first day. We want to win the trophy and we shall keep fighting to see that we achieve that. However, winning requires a lot and we shall keep trying to do the right things.”

To reach this stage, the Cardinals eliminated Makarere University Enzymes after turning around a 2-1 first-leg defeat facing MUBS setting up yet another exciting game.

On the other hand, MUBS captain Derrick Otuke revealed that his teammates are ready and they will have to do all it takes to upset a good time such as UCU.

“My camp is ready. For one to reach this level you cannot fear any team but rather respect one another. UCU is a good side and it will not be easy but we shall do all it takes to win. We shall come out to compete and the best team will win,” he stated.

The game between the two sides will take place on Tuesday, March 19 at Nakawa before St Lawrence University hosts Nkumba University later on Thursday.
