Stanbic Uganda Cup
Maroons FC vs KCCA FC
Sunday 2nd May, 2021. | 3:30pm
Luzira Prisons Grounds.
KCCA FC visit Maroons FC in the round of 16 – 47th edition of the Stanbic Uganda Cup at Luzira Prisons Grounds
KCCA FC will be hoping they can continue the good run in the Uganda Cup and maintain their 100 percent record thus far.
Record cup winners KCCA FC beat Nyamityobora 5-2 on aggregate in the previous round of 32.
Morley Byekwaso’s charges know that cup football is a strong opportunity for the side to pick silverware this season given that the 13 time league Champions lie 4th on the table with 10 points behind leaders URA FC.
A win against Maroons in the 1st leg of the Uganda Cup puts KCCA FC in a comfortable position ahead of the return leg on Wednesday 5th May 2021.

www.kccafc.co.ug caught up with the Manager Morley Byekwaso and he had this to say;
We face a very good side in Maroons FC. They are at home and play a similar brand of football like ours.
We have a very good home record against them. But that will not count tomorrow when we face them.
We want to maintain the rhythm in the Uganda Cup and keep winning games and see how far we can go
