And so, the StarTimes Uganda Premier League marches into Matchday Six , another chapter in a story of sweat, ambition, and unrelenting belief. Under the bright lights of Nakivubo, Express FC rose like a scarlet storm, dismantling Mbarara City FC 4–1. It was football in full cry , fierce, unforgiving, and full of flair , as the Red Eagles reminded everyone that when they soar, they do so with conviction and class.
A night later, in Kadiba, SC Villa , that grand old club of grace and grit , edged past a stubborn Kitara FC side by a single goal to nil. It was a contest of margins, a chess match played on grass, and when the final whistle blew, it was the Jogoos who stood tallest, their fans singing into the dusk as if to say: the old guard still breathes, still believes.
And now, on Friday night, the stage shifts to Kitende , the home of champions, where the green turf will shimmer under the floodlights. Vipers SC , the Venoms , emerge from the shadows for their first home game of the season. Their last outing, a narrow 1–0 triumph over Entebbe UPPC FC, was a whisper of intent. Tonight, against the mighty KCCA FC, it must be a roar. For when Vipers play in Kitende, they play not just for points, but for pride, for legacy, for the very soul of their fortress.
Come Saturday, the script widens. Lugazi FC will welcome Buhimba United Saints to Najjembe , a duel of the determined, a battle for belonging in Uganda’s top flight. Later, under the Lugogo lights, NEC FC will face BUL FC in a night where ambition meets resilience, and where one moment of brilliance could write a headline of its own.
So, as Matchday Six unfolds, Uganda’s football heartbeat quickens. The floodlights glow, the drums roll, and the dreams of eleven against eleven dance across green fields. This is the Premier League , alive, unrelenting, unpredictable , and as ever, it belongs to the brave.
