    NEC FC Head Coach Hussein Mbalangu

    ‘Although the team appeared fatigued due to the long season, we have had a week to recover and hopefully by Saturday the players will have rested enough and recovered. We also know the magnitude of the game thus we shall have to work hard to win the Cup. I am not under any pressure because I have won the trophy as a player and have also reached several finals as a coach especially in Somalia,” Mbalangu said.

    “We are a different team from the one that played last weekend on the final day of the StarTimes UgandaPremierLeague. I want to assure our fans to be ready for a revamped team that is hungry for victory.” He added.

    NEC FC Kavuma has the conviction that they have what it takes to emerge winners on Saturday.

    “While this is our maiden appearance at the final, we are feeling remarkably calm and composed due to the presence of experienced players who have been in such situations and also won the CUp. Their wealth of experience and winning mentality has eliminated any pressure allowing us to approach the final with confidence.” He stated.

    On the the other hand, Kitara’s gaffer believes they have had a tough road to the final and winning on Saturday will bring satisfaction.

    “Overcoming stiff competition from powerhouse teams like SC Villa and Vipers SC has been a valuable learning experience for us. By successfully navigating these challenging matches, we have emerged stronger and more resilient making us well prepared and confident as we head into the final.”

    Omedi who has been key in Kitara’s journey is convinced the unity and teamwork that has brought them this far will once again help them come Saturday.

    “I am thrilled to see our team’s unity and mindset. Our collective determination and winning mentality are palpable and it is clear that we are all driven to emerge victorious in the final.”

    The winner of Stanbic Uganda Cup will get a cash prize of USH 50M while the runners up will pocket USH 25M.

    It should be noted that each finalist is also guaranteed to receive 10 Zakayo balls.

    NEC FC Vs Kitara FC
    Saturday 25.05.2024

    In sports, every athlete dreams of making history by breaking records and leaving a lasting legacy. They push themselves to go beyond their limits and achieve things that were considered impossible before.

    As we gear up for the historic 50th edition of the Stanbic Uganda Cup to be played on Saturday, 25th May 2024, at the Muteesa II Memorial Stadium in Wankulukuku, we bring you the story of Paul Mucureezi who has reached a milestone by making it to his sixth Uganda Cup final. The Kigezi born player has lifted the trophy in three of the five finals he has played in and is looking forward to lifting his fourth with Kitara FC. Mucureezi has also contributed tremendously to his team reaching this stage including coverting three times against his former employers Vipers SC in at the quarter stage.

    While speaking to www.fufa.co.ug, Mucureezi attributed this milestone to his dedication to leaving a legacy wherever he goes.

    Reaching the sixth final is a great feeling and a big achievement in my career. I am so excited about it because reaching such a milestone isn’t a walk in the park. It calls for hard work, dedication and commitment’ said Mucureezi before adding ‘What has guided me is trying to maintain my performance since starting professional football with KCCA FC. Wherever I go, I try to put on a show with the intention of leaving a mark.

    Speaking about the upcoming final against NEC FC on Saturday, 25th May 2024, he said that it will require teamwork from everyone at the club to win the Cup.

    With this upcoming final, I’m only thinking about lifting the trophy. Though our opponents are also preparing for the same, we shall give our best as players under the guidance of our technical team with support from the administrators and our lovely fans.

    In 2014, Mucureezi guided KCCA FC to his first career Uganda Cup final against SC Villa at Kyamate in a game which was replayed at Mandela National Stadium though his team lost 3-1. He guided KCCA again in 2017 where they beat Paidha Black Angels 2-0. In 2018, Mucureezi reached the final with KCCA FC in a game played at Emokori Grounds, Bukedea against Vipers and the Kasasiro boys won 1-0. His last final appearance was in 2021 against BUL FC where Vipers humiliated BUL FC with an 8-0 victory.

    Can Mucureezi lift his fourth Stanbic Uganda Cup ?
