Doha, Qatar — Uganda’s U-17 team, the Cubs, delivered one of the country’s greatest football moments on Tuesday, stunning France 1–0 to secure Uganda’s first-ever victory at any FIFA World Cup tournament. The result also confirms their qualification for the Round of 32 in the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar.

The landmark win came at Aspire Zone – Pitch 3, where Uganda outclassed expectations with a performance defined by bravery, discipline, and composure.

⚽ Bogere Writes His Name in History

Forward James Bogere scored the decisive goal in the 18th minute, reacting fastest in a crowded penalty area to fire home a loose ball and send Ugandan supporters into wild celebration.

Despite dominating possession and launching repeated attacks, France failed to break down a well-organised Ugandan defense marshalled brilliantly throughout the match.

Resilience in the Face of Pressure

France intensified their attempts in the closing stages, but Uganda held firm in a dramatic final quarter:

75′ – France’s Emmanuel Mbemba booked

79′ – Uganda’s Hamza Sengooba shown yellow

82′ – Mbemba briefly halted play after injury

90′ – Goalscorer Bogere booked during Uganda’s defensive push

When the final whistle sounded, scenes of celebration erupted among the Cubs, while France — two-time U-17 World Cup winners (2001, 2019) — were left stunned.

Match Summary

Uganda 1 – 0 France

Goal: James Bogere (18′)

More Than a Win

Uganda’s victory marks a defining chapter in the nation’s football history, signalling the rapid rise of East African talent on the global stage. Scouts from Europe are already following Uganda’s youth stars, with interest reportedly growing from clubs in Belgium and Switzerland.

Head coach Jackson Magera deployed a bold but balanced tactical setup, absorbing pressure and striking efficiently on the counter — a strategy executed to perfection by his young team.

Liverpool ne Man Utd tezifunanga buwanguzi nga ziri ku bugenyi okuva mu Gwokusatu, naye oluvannyuma lw’okulaba nga Liverpool ewangulwa emirundi esatu egy’omuddiring’anwa mu mpaka zonna, bayinza okwagala okufuna obuwanguzi ku Anfield ku Ssande eno.

Biki ebiyinza okuba nga bye bimu ku bintu ebisalawo mu mupiira guno ogw’amaanyi?

Liverpool yagamba nti yasaasaanya obukadde bwa pawundi 300 ku bazannyi abasatu abalina ebitone okwongereza ku Mohamed Salah, naye kati Cody Gakpo ye muzannyi waabwe asinga okuba ow’omugaso sizoni eno. Olw’okuba nti Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak ne Hugo Ekitike bakyanoonya ekifo kyabwe, ate nga ne Salah tali ku mutindo gwe, Arne Slot yeesigamye ku muzannyi we ow’oku kkono ow’omu Budaaki.

Goolo bbiri n’okuyambako mu kuteeba emirundi ebiri kimufudde omuzannyi wa Liverpool asinga okuteeba ggoolo n’okuyambako mu kuteeba (joint-leading contributor) – nga yeegatta ku Ekitike ne Salah – naye bw’otunula mu kalonda, kyeyoleka bulungi nti Gakpo y’akulembera ttiimu mu kuteeba. Gakpo alina okukwatagana okusinga Salah, eyakulembera Premier League rankings n’obubonero 183 sizoni ewedde.

Olw’okuba Gakpo alina obusobozi bw’okuteeba ggoolo, Man Utd erina okwegendereza aleme kugiteeba ggoolo eziwera ku Anfield.

Man Utd, Bruno Fernandes yeeyongera okuba omuzannyi waabwe omukulu. Tewali muzannyi ateebye ggoolo nnyingi mu sizoni ya 2025/26, era ye muzannyi asinga okuteeba ggoolo mu bifo eby’omu maaso. Newankubadde tannateeba ggoolo nnyingi mu sizoni ya 2025/26, Fernandes abadde talina mukisa gwa kuteeba ggoolo nnyingi.

Nga bwe kiragibwa mu bubaka buno, kapiteeni wa Man Utd azannya bulungi nnyo okusobola okubaako ky’akola mu mupiira gwa Ssande ku Anfield.

Salah ajja kuddamu okulumya Man Utd?

Tewali muntu ayagala mupiira guno okusinga Salah, eyateebye mu mipiira 10 ku 11 egyasembyeyo wakati wa Liverpool ne Man Utd mu mpaka zonna.

Mu Premier League, Omumisiri ono yateebye ggoolo ezisinga obungi (13) era n’afuna ggoolo ezisinga obungi (19) mu mipiira gye bazannye ne Man Utd.

Kyokka Salah yatuuka ku mupiira guno ng’ali mu mbeera mbi, era nga takola bulungi nga bwe yali akola bulijjo.

Bw’omugeraageranya n’omuzannyo gwe ogw’emyaka ena egiyise, alina obukodyo 44 ku buli kikumi obutono mu kisaawe buli ddakiika 90, era n’amasasi 55 ku buli kikumi.

Liverpool tebadde na maanyi mangi, era omuwendo gwa football touches zabwe mu kitundu ky’omuzannyo ekisembayo buli ddakiika 90 gukendedde – okuva ku 215 sizoni ewedde okutuuka ku 185 mu sizoni eno. Okuleeta omuzibizi ow’oku ddyo omupya, omuteebi, n’omuzannyi w’omu makkati abalumba kireeseewo okutaataaganyizibwa mu muzannyo ogw’okukwatagana ogwali gumuwa omupiira mu bifo eby’obulabe.

Obutaba na nkolagana nnungi kiyinza okukozesebwa abaddusi abalina obukodyo obw’enjawulo. Abazannyi ba Liverpool nga Wirtz ne United nga Mbeumo babadde ba njawulo nnyo mu ngeri gye batambulamu nga tebalina mupiira, nga bali mu abo abasinga mu liigi mu kutambula okw’obulabe. Mbeumo asinga kumanyibwa ng’omuzannyi atambula n’ayita emabega w’abazibizi, ekintu abazannyi ba United abateekateeka obulungi gye basobola okuzuula, ate nga Wirtz atambula n’obukodyo mu maaso g’omuzannyo kiyinza okulaga nti abazannyi ba United abali mu kisaawe batera okufiirwa abazannyi ababavuganya.

Mu kusalawo okw’amaanyi, Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) kati kikakasizza nti liigi ya Uganda Premier League (UPL) eddiziddwa mu nkola ey’awaka n’ebweru. Enkola eno ereeseewo okusoomoozebwa n’okukyuka kw’obuyinza mu bukulembeze bw’omuzannyo guno mu ggwanga.

Okusalawo kuno okusinga kwava ku kuziyizibwa okw’amaanyi okuva mu bantu abakulu. Ttiimu ezimanyiddwa ennyo nga Vipers SC, NEC FC, ne SC Villa zaavumirira enkola empya, nga ziraga okweraliikirira ku kuzannyisa emipiira mingi, obwenkanya, n’ebizibu by’ebyensimbi, nga Vipers yatuuka n’okutiisatiisa okwesamba. Abawagizi nabo baakola omulimu omukulu, nga balaga obutali bumativu bwabwe n’okutabulwatabulwa olw’enkola enzibu okutegeera nga bayita ku mikutu gya yintaneeti n’okwesamba. Okwongereza ku ekyo, abavujjirizi n’abasunsuzi, abakulu mu kufuna ssente mu[liigi, nabo baayongera ku puleesa nga beeraliikirira olw’ebizannyo ebitategeerekeka n’okulaba abantu abatono.

Wadde nga waliwo okuvumirira enkola ya FUFA eyasooka ey’okusalawo okuva waggulu, okukyusaamu kuno kulina ebirungi bingi. Kuddamu okuteekawo obutebenkevu era ne kwewala akavuyo, nga kisobozesa ttiimu[[1] okuteekateeka sizoni zaazo nga zimanyi bulungi. Okuvuganya kuddamu okukakasibwa nga buli mupiira gujja kuba gwa mugaso kyenkanyi. Ekisinga obukulu, okusalawo kuyamba okuzzaawo obwesige nga kulaga nti FUFA esobola okukola ku nsonga za ttiimu, abawagizi, n’abavujjirizi, ekikuuma obwesige bw’abavujjirizi era n’okuwa omukisa okuyiga eri enkyukakyuka ez’omu maaso.

Kino kiraga enkyukakyuka mu mupiira gwa Uganda. Kiraga nti FUFA tesobola kussaawo nkyukakyuka nga teyeebuuzizza ku balala era kati erina okukulembeza okukolera awamu, obwerufu, n’empuliziganya ennungi. Kiraabu ziraze nti[[1] zisobola okuwakanya enkola ezitataaganya ebigendererwa byazo, era abawagizi balaze ekifo kyabwe ng’abakwatibwako ab’omugaso. Sizoni ejja ejja kuba kugezesa kwa maanyi okulaba oba nga ddala omwoyo guno oguzziddwawo gujja kuleetawo abawagizi abangi mu bisaawe era n’okulaba oba nga FUFA esobola okusigala ng’ekolagana n’abalala.

FUFA Reverses UPL format amid backlash

In a significant decision, the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has officially reverted the Uganda Premier League (UPL) back to the traditional home-and-away format. This move abandons the controversial multi-phase split system introduced earlier and comes after mounting pressure from across Ugandan football. The reversal, while widely welcomed, sheds light on the challenges and evolving power dynamics within the sport’s governance in the country.

The decision was primarily driven by strong opposition from key stakeholders. Prominent clubs like Vipers SC, NEC FC, and SC Villa openly criticized the new format, raising concerns over fixture congestion, fairness, and financial implications, with Vipers even threatening a boycott. Fans also played a pivotal role, expressing their frustration and confusion over the complex structure through social media campaigns and potential boycotts. Furthermore, sponsors and broadcasters, crucial for league revenue, added to the pressure by worrying about unpredictable fixtures and lower viewership. Logistically, the new system also proved challenging to implement effectively.

Despite the criticism of FUFA’s initial top-down approach, the reversal carries several positive outcomes. It immediately restores stability and avoids potential chaos, allowing clubs to plan their seasons with familiarity. The competitive balance is reaffirmed as every match will count equally once again. Most importantly, the decision helps rebuild trust by demonstrating that FUFA can respond to the concerns of clubs, fans, and sponsors, thereby safeguarding partner confidence and providing a valuable learning opportunity for future reforms.

This episode reveals an evolving landscape in Ugandan football. It shows that FUFA can no longer impose major reforms unilaterally and must now prioritize collaboration, transparency, and consistent communication. Clubs have proven they can effectively challenge policies that threaten their interests, and fans have cemented their role as influential stakeholders. The coming season will be a true test of whether this restored goodwill translates into higher stadium attendance and if FUFA can maintain this more consultative approach. By reversing its decision, FUFA has set a powerful precedent that the collective voice of the football community now holds tangible influence over the league’s future.
