The Wakiso Giants Football Club official badge has three main features; a ball, crescent and hand with a pointed finger designed in three different colours purple (dominant), white and black.
This badge is one of the treasured club items that are patented and define the club.
When Wakiso Giants officially signed and unveiled Ibrahim “Owen Baba” Kasule, the player boldly acknowledged respecting the badge and offering everything possible in the name of the club.
I have worked hard to get to this moment and I can promise the fans that I will give everything for the badge to help bring us more success to this club.

Wakiso Giants Football Club Statement
Kasule had previously featured for Nansana United and Buddu Ssaza where he emerged as the Most Valuable Player in 2018.
He was also the MVP of the University Football League and skippered St. Lawrence University in 2019, losing to eventual winners UCU during the well contested final at Lugogo.
He was also the best midfielder of the season in the same competition.
Kasule is an artistic midfielder who can also be deployed as a second forward, winger and as a center forward.
It is a big step in my career and am looking forward to utilising the opportunity well I want to thank my previous clubs especially KJT for everything they have done for me. Not so many clubs would show trust to a player who hasn’t tasted top tier football yet but am ready and I can’t wait to start to repay that on the pitch.
