Uganda Premier League | Fixture

• UPDF vs Lugazi - 4 pm

Kitara hosts NEC in the Uganda Premier League at Royal Park, Butema, in Hoima, on Thursday, September 19, 2024.

The Royals come into the game, having secured a well-deserved 3-0 victory against League newbies Kitara on matchday one.

Kitara captain Maxwell Owachigiu believes the victory on matchday one will be an igniting switch to spark off their bright journey.

"We were lucky to win the first game away to Lugazi, and that is motivational enough to give us belief and win against NEC side," Owachigiu stated.

"The game against NEC provides a great state to test how ready we are. We need to work so hard as players to see that we help the club to achieve its dreams," he added.

On the other hand, forward Paul Mucureezi will be facing his former paymasters after crossing to NEC.

In a pre-match conference, Mucureezi revealed that meeting his former side provides extra motivation to prove his worth.

"For me, facing my former side is an extra motivation," he shared to the club media.

The goal is always to show what I am still capable of offering, but the most important thing is to help the team get a good result," he added.

In the previous campaign, neither side won the league game played at home before Kitara secured a 1-0 in the Uganda Cup.
