“We are still in talks with the FUFA team to agree on the maximum number of fans to accommodate in the stadium for the final game, all actions strictly following the SOP’s as issued by the Ministry of Health,” he added.

We are proud to associate with the Buganda Kingdom, it’s people and its activities, and therefore pledge to continue supporting the Masaza Cup to the sustained growth of sports and culture.”

“This tournament is important to us because we believe in its impact on our youth, especially in developing their talent and setting them up for league opportunities, ensuring their prosperity and improving their livelihoods in future, she remarked.
