“As you prepare for the second leg at our home ground, know that the entire University community stands behind you. Let’s continue to strive for excellence and bring home the championship, I Owe You.”
The clash between Nkumba University and Kampala University holds significant importance for both institutions, as they vie for the opportunity to clinch the UFL title for the first time in a while.
With the stakes higher than ever, the match promises to be a thrilling showcase of talent, determination, and sportsmanship.
