Pre-Match Reactions.
David Obua (Head Coach)
“I have been with the lads for five days and they have responded well. The mood is good and I want to start off my journey here on a winning note. We know Kitara FC well and we have prepared for them. Being home will also be a big boost for us.”
Enock Walusimbi (Skipper)
“I am happy to be back from suspension. It’s a big game for us against a side that is in fine form but we have worked out through the week with our new coach and now set for the task at hand. We lost our previous tie so this win will help us get out confidence back as well as closing the gap on the teams above us.”

It will be the second time both teams will be squaring off, with the first one coming in 2021 in Hoima were URA FC won 2-3 before the return leg in the second half was cancelled due to COVID-19 then.
