Match Preview, Startimes Uganda Premier League | Jan 13 2026 Kick-off: 4:00pm
Entebbe UPPC FC return to action tomorrow afternoon with a tough but exciting Uganda Premier League encounter against URA FC, as we continue our push for consistency and momentum this season.
We come into this fixture in strong form and full belief. Having won three of our last five matches, including back-to-back victories against Kitara FC and Express FC, confidence is growing within the squad. Our only defeat in that run came against Police FC, while we picked up a hard-earned draw away to Mbarara City FC — results that underline our competitive edge.
URA FC present a different challenge under new head coach Hussein Mbalangu, who recently guided the Tax Collectors through the Mapinduzi Cup in Tanzania, facing elite opposition across three demanding fixtures. That experience is expected to shape their tactical approach as they look to reassert themselves domestically.
Despite their pedigree, we travel knowing our away form has been solid. We remain unbeaten on the road this season, recording two wins and two draws, a record that speaks to our discipline, resilience, and growing maturity in hostile environments. URA, meanwhile, suffered their only home defeat in four matches last time out against Kitara FC, having previously won two and drawn two at home.
Team News
Team news ahead of kick-off sees Kawawa ruled out, while Bugembe, Poloto, and Male will still have to be assessed. The technical team remains optimistic, with depth in the squad ensuring competition and balance across the pitch.
Our recent success has been driven by decisive contributions across the team. Kigozi, Ssenyonjo, Munguchi, Bugembe, Isa Mubiru and Bunjo have all stepped up as match winners in the last five games, highlighting the collective responsibility and attacking variety we continue to develop.
Tomorrow’s contest will demand focus, intensity, and belief. With a 4:00pm kick-off, conditions will favour high tempo football, and we’ll be looking to control key moments. This is another opportunity for us to measure our progress against one of the league’s established sides — and to continue building a reputation as a team that competes, adapts, and delivers results wherever we play.
As matchday approaches, the message is clear: we go into this united, confident, and ready. Tomorrow is about maintaining momentum, trusting our identity, and turning preparation into performance
