.From Bulisa to Nansana through Kawempe and now in United Kingdom

.Meet this young and exciting talent from Western Uganda with undying passion and love to play for his mother land –Uganda.

All young football players around the world have dreams of donning their countries’ national team shirts.

It doesn’t matter which part of the globe one comes from but there is always that burning desire among many players to be part of a national team set up.

For Uganda’s case, many star players have dominated their generations. Phillip Omondi, Jimmy Kirunda, Magid Musisi, Jackson Mayanja, John Ross Latigo, Sam Simbwa, Paul Hasule, Paul Ssali and many more others were house hold names during their playing days.

Unfortunately death has robbed us of many such players but their legendary status lives on.

Uganda is endowed with massive talent as has already been evidenced with various youth championships the country has entered players to feature n especially in Europe.

The Kampala Kids League (KKL) is a vivid example as players like Sadam Juma, Daniel Mzee Serunkuma, Yayo Lutimbaand Tony Odour have all been products o this famous institution that traversed Europe and left their hosts idle gazing with the talent and skill showcased by these Ugandan youths.

One such young talent with big time dreams-one day to play for his country is Isaac Musinguzi.

‘I pray every day to the Almighty to guide me in whatever I do. I pray to Him to keep me alive and realize my dream of playing for Uganda’ Muzinguzi told www.fufa.co.ug

Currently living in the UK, Musinguzi believes in himself and is confident he can break the various barriers and play for Uganda.

‘I know I can deliver while given chance but I want to go step by step in the bid to reach far with my football’ added Musinguzi.

Having played for Nansana Hotspurs FC in the Kawempe first division league and picking up various accolades including that of player of the season, the 19 year old Musinguzi says the sky is the limit.

‘I’m learning a lot in Europe. My technical ability and sense on the ball is improving a lot’ said Muzinguzi who is now featuring for Northampton Spencer FC.

Musinguzi’s coach has switched him from defence to midfield and has played a pivotal role for his club’s current position (8th) where they have gone unbeaten since September. Surprisingly Northampton Spencer FC has 4 games in hand in the 18team league.

Musinguzi has a dream-to play or Cranes but for now his firm foundation is at Chroma Sport and Trophies United Counties Football League in the UK.
