Tom Masiko (L) has been in fine form for KCCA FC and will be key as the club tries to win their first ever double

Midfielder Tom Masiko has enjoyed rich form towards the end of the season domestically, and continues to be a key figure on the continent.

Masiko struggled with a knee injury that saw him spend the start of the season on the sidelines but that’s all in the past.

Ahead of the highly anticipated Uganda Cup final this Thursday at the Betway GreenLight Stadium, the enterprising midfielder is confident Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club (KCCA FC) has what it takes to end the jinx and win the elusive double.

Tom Masiko, a son to one of the legends at KCCA FC Charles Baker Masiko wants to emulate the legacy left by his father and perhaps even surpass his records.

Masiko asserts that this has given him the courage to work harder and look up to the final to help KCCA FC clinch the double a thing his father didn’t achieve.

He has always encouraged me to work harder and to me this club is home. The fact that my father played here and left a legacy, I also want to walk the same path. Winning a double for KCCA FC would mean I have achieved a feat he failed

The midfielder who has made a name for himself by scoring trademark goals told www.kccafc.co.ug.

Masiko indicates, it’s high time that KCCA FC joined the category of domestic double winners and he believes it is the current squad that should achieve the feat.

The Uganda Cup title is important to us. It goes beyond just winning a trophy but this one is unique because we are seeking for our maiden domestic double. As players, we are set and confident ahead of the final and God willing, we shall bring the cup home

KCCA FC has already touched base in Arua ahead of the final on Thursday afternoon against Paidha Black Angels.
