The Printers are gearing up for a monumental quarterfinal clash under the lights of HAMZ Stadium as they look to make their mark before the new Uganda Premier League campaign.
Entebbe UPPC FC is on the verge of writing a new chapter in its history. Following their impressive integration into the top flight after the takeover of Gaddafi FC, “The Printers” are now preparing for their first-ever appearance in the prestigious FUFA Super 8 tournament.
The quarterfinal draw has pitted Entebbe UPPC FC against a formidable NEC FC side, setting the stage for a thrilling two-legged encounter right in the heart of the capital at HAMZ Stadium.
The Quarterfinal Schedule
Fans can expect high stakes and electric atmospheres for both legs of this highly anticipated matchup:
- 1st Leg: Sunday, August 2nd at 7:00 PM
- 2nd Leg: Thursday, August 6th at 4:00 PM
- Venue: HAMZ Stadium (both legs)
NEC FC has proven to be a tough side; the two sides recently battled to a tense 0-0 stalemate during their league encounter in March so tactical discipline and clinical finishing will be critical if Entebbe UPPC is to progress to the semifinals.
Building Momentum for the UPL Season
While the immediate focus is on securing silverware and a statement victory in the Super 8, these two high-intensity matches serve a dual purpose. They are the perfect proving ground ahead of the 2026/2027 Uganda Premier League season, which officially kicks off on August 28th.
A strong showing against NEC FC will provide massive momentum for The Printers as they look to build on last season’s solid performances, which included composed victories and crucial late winners on the road. With the squad hungry to prove they belong among Uganda’s elite, this quarterfinal is more than just a cup tie; it is the launchpad for the season ahead.
It is time to fill the stands at HAMZ Stadium.
