Hundreds of thousands of spectators will be expected to grace the 2016 Masaza football final when three time winners Gomba takes on last year’s losing finalists, Buddu at the Nelson Mandela National Stadium, Namboole on Saturday.
His Majesty, the Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II will be the chief guest.
Gomba eliminated Kyaggwe 3-0 in the semi finals as Buddu got the better of Busujju 2-1 at the last four stage played over the two legs.
Key players:
Gomba Lions, led by coach George Lutalo will look to the experience of Mikidadi Ssenyonga and robustness of Ali Hassan for the much needed inspiration.
On the other hand, Steven Bogere and Simon Mugerwa’s coached Buddu has two hardworking forward players, Joseph Jjanjali and Robert Mukongottya that can crack any defence line.
Besides, Marida Kutesa and skipper Shakidu Mbaziira have the potent weapons of mass destruction that could even scare the well equipped Russia against the enemy.
In the early game, Kyaggwe takes on Busujju in the match to determine the third placed team.
The Masaza tournament is famed for grooming great talents. Players as Mike Sserumaga, Emmanuel Okwi, Edrisa Lubega, Yassar Mugerwa, Kenneth Tumusiime, Yunus Sentamu, Farouk Miya and many others have played the this tourney.
