Express FC just like KCCA FC has won the prestigious knockout tournament ten times with their last triumph coming in 2007. The Red Eagles will face a tricky side in BUL FC who have always been tough opponents in as far as the previous league engagements are concerned.

In the last ten league games between the two sides, Express FC have only won twice with the Jinja-based outfit winning six while the other two games ended in stalemates.

To reach this stage, Express FC dumped out Police FC on kicks from the penalty mark (3-1 after normal time ended goalless) while BUL FC, on the other hand, outwitted Bukedea Town Council FC 4-1.

Mukasa famously known as the ‘football god’ with his left sweet foot is best known for his career at Express FC and the only Ugandan named on the best team during the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations.

He reminisced how the competition was tight at the time that he did not get the chance to lift the Uganda Cup-then the Kakungulu Cup.

“At the time when I played, we had very many good teams like KCC (now KCCA FC), Simba FC, Nsambya Fc, Maroons FC, and Coffee FC. So it was very hard for any team to win a trophy and I must say not winning this tournament still hurts me.” Said Mukasa who played for Nateete FC, Nakivubo Boys, Express FC among others.

Muganzi on the other expressed delight about the progress of the tournament and indicated Stanbic Bank will continue to offer their support.

“As Stanbic Bank, we are happy to associate with FUFA through the Uganda Cup a tournament that brings thrilling action throughout the country. We can only promise more commitment and support towards the tournament.”

Like it has been the case in the previous editions where FUFA attaches Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to the tournament, the same will be done this year with the campaign officially launched today by FUFA Events Manager, Leila Nankya who called upon the public to embrace the cause.

“As we have done in the previous editions,  the 2019 Stanbic Uganda Cup will have a CSR activity where we collect clothes and give them to the less privileged at the end of the tournament. I therefore, call upon the public to show support to the cause by bringing the items here at FUFA House and Stanbic Bank branches around the country”

Buganda region will host this year’s final.  The date and venue where the final shall be played will be communicated.

When the two sides went into the shoot-outs, it was Maroons captain Johnson Silver Okello, who fell victim as Mbarara City FC Ali Kimera saved the kick.

Mbarara City’s Siraje Musindo then composed himself to score for City and when Maroon’s Emanuel Olinga pressed his spot kick wide, the City fans started jubilating in the stands.

Maroons goalie Bugembe Ashadu then brought some life to his team by saving Mbarara’s Pistis Barenge, but Hilary Mukundane, Brian Aheebwa all converted for City before goal keeper Kimera slotted home the decider, to spark more cerebrations from the home fans.

Maroons Samson Mutyaba, Brian Majwega and Felix Okot converted their kicks successfully.

Maroons coach George Nsimbe said it was not a good day as they failed to convert many opportunities created.

‘We created many chances and the game could have been won in normal time but it was a bad day in office’ said Nsimbe
