Express Football Club completes the signing of promising goalkeeper Marvin Ssebirago Ssali

Seven-time Uganda Premier League champions Express FC have completed the signing of young goalkeeper Marvin Ssebirago Ssali.

Ssebirago joins the Red Eagles from Kampala Province side Archers SC, signing his first professional contract with one of Uganda’s most decorated clubs.

The shot-stopper began his career at St. Henry’s College Kitovu, where he won the Lamennais Tournament.

His impressive performances earned him the number one spot at Buddu Ssaza while still a student.

Ssebirago boasts key attributes of a modern goalkeeper, excellent command of his defence, great anticipation for crosses, and superb shot-stopping ability.

Furthermore, he was part of the Buddu Ssaza squad that won the 2024 Masaza Cup, keeping a clean sheet in the 1-0 final victory over Kyaggwe at Namboole.

His heroics saw him named the Masaza Cup Goalkeeper of the Year.

At the red Eagles, he reunites with fellow Buddu Ssaza teammate Steven Yiga, who was also recently unveiled.

As usual, Express FC has been busy in the transfer window.

The club has re-signed Alpha Ssali and Wagoina, and also brought in Mathias Kigonya, Aaron Mutebi, Steven Yiga, Michael Lutaaya, Hamidu Nsubuga, Hamis Bagwani, Keiden King, and experienced defender Andy Kyambadde.

The Red Eagles have also released several players, including Mulamba Blancher, Marvin Nyanzi, Mikidad Ssenyonga, John Asimwe, Elvis Ssekajugo, and goalkeeper Khassim Hafizi.

Express FC, who recently unveiled new sponsors NIC Insurance and Cornerstone Asset Managers, will begin their 2026/27 campaign against BUL FC in Njeru on Sunday, 30th August, 2026.
