As Uganda celebrates her 59th Independence Day, football enthusiasts shall be merry making with the annual Independence Cup in Kamuli District, Eastern Uganda.

The 2021 Kamuli Independence Cup tournament will be played on the barren and dusty Kamuli Municipal Council playground.

At least 24 teams from the districts of Kamuli, Buyende, Jinja, Iganga, Kayunga, Buikwe, are expected to take part in the tournament that kicks off on 26th September and will climax on 9th October 2021.

The tournament is organized by Wilson Kantu, a sports journalist working with Kamuli Broadcasting Services (KBS), 105.9 FM.

Kantu has also previously organized the Kamuli U-20 tourney won by Nkuddu Sports Academy, Buyende.

According to Kantu, the tournament is a way of paying back to the community as a way of providing that enviable platform to budding talents to showcase their talents.

We are having the Kamuli Independence Cup to provide the youth with the opportunity to showcase their talents. We shall not allow FUFA Big League and Uganda Premier League licensed players to give the upcoming players a chance to play.
