Kyaggwe’s journey to the Buganda Masaza Cup Final 2026

Kyaggwe Ssaza FC are in high preparations for the 2026 Airtel Buganda Masaza Cup final as they face five-time champions Gomba Ssaza FC in a highly anticipated showdown.

Coached by Ronald Ssali, Kyaggwe are two-time finalists who are yet to win the Masaza Cup.

They lost in the semifinals last season and when they last reached the final in 2024 they lost 1-0 to Buddu.

Now they have another chance to search for their maiden trophy.

For starters, Kyaggwe were seeded in the Masengere Group alongside Gomba, Busiro, Mawokota, Ssese and Bulemeezi.

They topped the group with 23 points in 10 games registering seven wins, two draws and just one loss.

In the quarterfinals, Kyaggwe knocked out Mawogola 5-2 on aggregate. In the first leg away in Mawogola they secured a 2-1 win with goals from Lauben Lubwama and David Mugalu, while Ssenono Asuman scored for the hosts.

Back home at Bishop’s SS in Mukono, Kyaggwe sealed qualification with a 3-1 win.

Lauben Lubwama was again on the scoresheet with a brace while Innocent Matege scored the other goal.

Mawogola’s consolation was scored by Emmanuel Opolot.

In the semifinals, Kyaggwe faced Bugerere Ssaza FC.

Kyaggwe hosted the first leg where captain Ronnie Ziraba’s lone goal won it 1-0.

Furthermore, in the second leg at Ntenjeru, Bugerere Ssaza hosted but the game ended 0-0 seeing Kyaggwe progress to their second final on a 1-0 aggregate.

With a target of securing their first ever Masaza Cup trophy, Kyaggwe find a high hill to climb as they face Gomba a side they already played twice in the group stages with both games ending in draws 0-0 at Kabulasoke and 1-1 at Bishop’s.

Lauben Lubwama, Innocent Matege and captain Ronnie Ziraba will be looked at to guide Kyaggwe Ssaza FC to victory come this Saturday at Muteesa II Stadium Wankulukuku.
