Nkumba “Beach Boys” Seek Redemption Against KIU In The University Football League

Nkumba University Football team will be in action again tomorrow on Wednesday 11th November 2026 against Kampala International University in the Pepsi University Football League at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo.

 

In the first place, Nkumba University lost their first game of the campaign by 2-0 to Kabale University in the Kigezi region.

Wazilu Ssekaga and Byaruhanga Owen scored for Kabale University.

 

However, Nkumba University will be looking to return to winning ways in their second game of the season.

 

For starters, Nkumba University is the 2023/24 University Football League champions whereas Kampala International University is yet to win the trophy of the prestigious league.

 

Therefore, with that pedigree and experience of winning the league, Nkumba will be confident they can win tomorrow’s intense game.

 

In addition, the Beach Boys will have to win against Kampala International University to keep alive their chances of progressing from the group stages.

 

On the other hand, Kampala International University who had a goalless draw against ISBAT University in their first game will also be fighting for maximum points on the road.
