Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club (KCCA FC) need just a point in the remaining three league games to officially retain the Uganda Premier league title.
Ahead of the league game against Lweza FC at Phillip Omondi stadium on Tuesday, KCCA FC prime target will be making sure they clinch the title as soon as possible.
Team manager,Mike Hillary Mutebi believes the game against Lweza is important because it seals the title and also prepares the team ahead of continental engagement.
“We are taking the game very seriously because we are using it as preparation for the CAF Confederation Cup against FUS Rabat and above all if we win it, we will be champions,” the manager intimated to www.kccafc.co.ug.
Midfielder Tom Masiko shares similar sentiments with the team manager and indicates this is the right time to win the title.
“This is the opportune time to kill off the league talk and concentrate fully on continental games. Therefore the game against Lweza is quite important and we are ready to put in our best efforts,” Masiko stated.
KCCA FC come into Tuesday’s clash on the back of a comprehensive 5-1 victory against Kirinya Jinja SS and victory for the Lugogo based side will ensure the team cliches the 2016/17 league title.
At 57 points in 27 games, KCCA FC is five points adrift of second placed SC Villa yet with a game in hand and thus a positive result against Lweza will be enough for Mike Mutebi charges to successfully retain the title.
