By Brian Sentuuya || Anticipation fills the air, heightening the excitement as the competition intensifies for the highly sought-after positions securing entry to the nationals of the 2024 Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Association (USSSA) boys’ football championship from Kampala.
Set to commence in early April, this eagerly anticipated showdown follows the gripping qualifiers that unfolded across five divisions within Kampala: Makindye, Rubaga, Central, Kawempe, and Nakawa. Each division witnessed a display of skill, determination, and passion as schools battled fiercely for supremacy and the chance to advance to the next stage. Now, as the spotlight shifts to the impending championship, anticipation mounts, and fans eagerly await the spectacle that promises to showcase the very best of secondary school football talent in the region.
Amidst the settling dust of the divisional qualifiers, attention shifts to the esteemed Kampala Zonal Qualifiers. Ten victorious schools, two from each division, were carefully selected and placed into two formidable groups, A and B, following a ceremony conducted on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. As anticipation mounts and excitement fills the air, these chosen teams are poised to showcase their talents and compete fiercely for the honor of advancing to the next stage of the competition.
Group A sets the stage for fierce competition as Lubiri S.S, Kawempe Muslim S.S, Lake Side Luzira S.S, Ahamadiyah S.S, and St. Mbuga Vocational School gear up to clash on the field. Each team, brimming with talent and determination, is poised to leave no stone unturned in their quest for victory. With skills honed and strategies devised, these schools stand ready to showcase their prowess and claim their rightful place in the annals of football greatness. The battleground is set, and the intensity of the matches promises to captivate audiences and inspire admiration for the spirit of sportsmanship on display.
Meanwhile, Group B promises equally thrilling matches, featuring the record champions Kibuli Secondary School, alongside Old Kampala S.S, Bishop Cyprian School, Kazo Hill S.S, and Uganda Martyrs Lubaga. Each team brings its own unique blend of skill, strategy, and determination to the field, ready to leave an indelible mark on the tournament.
The stakes soar sky-high as only two schools from each group will secure passage to the semi-finals, with hopes of ultimately clinching the prestigious title of Kampala zone champion. With every match serving as a make-or-break moment, the pressure mounts for each team to deliver their best performance on the field.
For the fortunate semi-finalists, their triumph will not only signify local glory but also guarantee their participation in the highly anticipated 2024 USSSA football nationals, slated to be hosted in Masaka.

The central contest is likely to be between Uganda Martyrs’ scoring threat and Kawempe’s unbeaten defence. With an average of 2.5 goals per game, the leaders have demonstrated their ability to make chances count. Kawempe, by contrast, have yet to concede, suggesting that their defensive organisation has been effective. The challenge for Uganda Martyrs is to find a way through without losing the attacking rhythm that has brought them six points. - KCCA Women Held by Makerere as Missed Chances Define Goalless Draw | Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League
