Uganda Premier League side KCCA FC is in direct talks with talented defender Hassan Muhamood in the ongoing transfer window.

The Lugogo-based side has made it clear that they have a strong intention to strengthen their defence with a ball-playing defender.

KCCA came close to agreeing on terms with defender Hudu Mulikyi but the deal failed to materialise in the last minute.

Reports indicate that the two parties are in advanced talks ahead of a possible transfer.

Muhamood ran down his contract with Tanzania’s Geita Gold FC, a side he joined from Mbeya City.

While at Mbeya City, Muhamood worked with coach Abdallah Mubiru after sharing a dressing room at Police FC.

Muhamood has also played for Express, SC Villa and Onduparaka in the Uganda Premier League.

Uganda Premier League side URA Football Club has announced the departure of forward Viane Ssekajugo following the expiration of his contract.

Ssekajugo has been with the Tax Collectors for the last three years.

“After three incredible years with URA FC, we bid farewell to forward Vianne sSekajugo. Your dedication and talent have been invaluable to the team. Best of luck in your future endeavours, Via!,” the club posted on their official X (Twitter) account.

Ssekajugo joined URA FC in August 2021 as a free agent from Wakiso Giants, signing a three-year deal.

During his tenure with the club, he contributed significantly, although his last season saw him scoring just two goals in 14 league matches.

Ssekajugo who has in the past played for west Nile side Onduparaka is strongly linked with a transfer to NEC Football Club.

Abdul Lumala is set to part ways with Croatian side Slaven Belupo, the club has confirmed.

The development was made by the club on Monday, June 24, and revealing the Uganda Cranes forward will be among the released players.

Lumala’s departure from the Croatian side marks the end of his stay at the club after only three months.

“Abdu Lumala is no longer a player for Slaven Belupo. He arrived in Koprivnica in March of the year and made a total of four appearances in our jersey,” the statement partly reads.

“We wish him the best of luck in his future career, and all his plans is going forward,” the club shared.

Lumala joined Slaven Belupo in March after terminating his contract with Uganda Premier League side Vipers SC in January this year.

The speedy forward joined Vipers SC in July 2022 in a highly rated transfer, but the player hardly lived to the hype, scoring only three goals and making five assists in 20 games played.

Uganda Cranes attacker Steven Desse Mukwala has bid farewell to Ghanaian side Asante Kotoko.

The announcement was confirmed through an emotional video that was posted on Monday morning.

“This is probably the saddest day of my life. As I say good to the home, that has given me a platform to grow my career. I want to thank His Majesty, the King who welcomed me to Ghana,” he emotionally said.

“I am greatly honoured by the words of wisdom of the King. I am glad to be part of the profound family. I hold you so dear in my heart because you are the best,” he stated.

The pacy forward shared his gratitude to the coaches, teammates, and fans who made his stay in Kumasi, Ghana worthy.

Mukwala’s name will forever be remembered in Ghana as he concluded the previous season as the club’s top scorer.

Reports indicate that several teams are chasing the forward’s signature, though Tanzania’s big spenders Simba SC is leading the race.

Kawempe Muslim Secondary School secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against St Noa Girls in the semifinals of the 2024 USSSA Games on Thursday evening.

In a tight game played at Standard High Ndejje Campus, Hadijah Babirye’s finish was the difference between the two sides.

It was a cagey game in the opening minutes as neither side had hardly taken charge of the proceedings.

Five minutes to the end of the first stanza, Babirye was brave to node home from close range before getting into a challenge with St Noa’s custodian.

Babirye kept her eyes on Sharifah Nakimera’s long effort before guiding it into the back of the net.

In the second half, St Noa pegged Kawempe Muslim onto the back foot but failed to guide the ball past the goal line.

On several occasions, Sumaiyah Nalumu whipped in nice deliveries in search of Sylvia Kabene, but the forward was a shadow of himself.

Despite St. Noa throwing in everything upfront Kawempe’s backline stood tall and calm to keep everything in their favour.

In the other semifinal encounter, Rines SS registered a sweet 2-0 victory against defending champions Amus College.

Last year’s finalists, Amus College and St Noa will face off in the classification game before the final gets underway.
