KCCA FC’s Second Round Campaign
KCCA FC, currently fourth on the league table, begins their second-round journey on Thursday, February 13, 2025, against NEC FC who will be the hosting team. The match will take place at 7 PM at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo. This encounter offers Abdallah Mubiru’s men an opportunity to avenge their first-round loss to NEC, where a narrow 1-0 defeat at home left fans yearning for redemption.
A highly anticipated showdown awaits just days later, as KCCA FC hosts league leaders Vipers SC on Sunday, February 16, 2025, at 7 PM at the MTN Omondi Stadium. This fixture, deemed by many as the game of the season, carries immense weight. In their first-round meeting, Ashraf Mugume’s stunning 93rd-minute volley salvaged a crucial point for KCCA FC in a thrilling 1-1 draw. Fans across the nation will have this match circled on their calendars.
Setting the Tone for the Season
The opening two fixtures of the second round will be pivotal for KCCA FC. Although both games are scheduled to take place at the MTN Omondi Stadium, only one will count as a home game for KCCA FC. The NEC FC match will be an away fixture, as NEC hosts their games at this venue. These encounters against strong opponents could set the tone for the remainder of the season. With 15 matches to play, including 8 at home and 7 away, every point will be crucial in the race for the title.
In the first round, KCCA FC recorded six wins, six draws, and three losses, scoring 16 goals and conceding 10. The team will aim to improve their consistency and capitalize on their opportunities in the second round.
Final Day Drama and Key Fixtures
The final matchday of the season, scheduled for Saturday, May 24, 2025, will see KCCA FC travel to Hamz Stadium-Nakivubo to face Express FC. All games on this decisive day will kick off simultaneously at 3 PM, adding to the drama and intensity of the league’s conclusion.
Notably, all games on the last three matchdays will be played on the same day and kick off simultaneously to ensure fairness and competitive integrity. The only exception will be Matchday 29, where Police FC and UPDF FC will play a day after due to venue-sharing arrangements at Kavumba Recreation Grounds.
As the second round approaches, KCCA FC’s determination and resilience will be tested. With every point carrying immense significance, the team’s quest for glory in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League is set to captivate fans and define the 2024/25 season.
