The Round of 16 draw event was graced by former Uganda Cranes footballer Ibrahim Buwembo who featured for several clubs including Coffee FC, State House FC, and Express FC among others.
Buwembo indicated he was honoured to be part of the draws and lauded FUFA for uplifting the status of domestic competitions.
” I’m honoured to grace this event. It is encouraging to see that this competition has continued to grow in stature and now attracts sponsors like Stanbic Bank and Plascon Paint,” he stated.
“I remember in the early 1990s while captain at Coffee FC we tried to win the Stanbic Uganda Cup but faced a big challenge in overcoming SC Villa with the likes of Paul Hasule (RIP). But I’m glad that in the evening of my career at Express FC, I was able to eventually lift this prestigious title,” Buwembo reminisced.
