Against many people’s odds, SC Villa won last season’s championship on the final day of the campaign.
Then under Dusan Stojanovic, a young Jogoos squad overcame the challenges of seasoned campaigners, Vipers and KCCA as well as BUL and surprise teams Kitara and NEC to end 20 years of a league trophy drought.
Can the Jogoos retain the title under Morley Byekwaso? We wait to see but it looks like the challenge will be tougher.
KCCA want to end a four-year drought, Vipers SC want to reclaim the title they lost to SC Villa, BUL wants a maiden league title while Kitara wants to build on last season’s Stanbic Uganda Cup triumph.
Alex Isabirye is back at URA – the last time they won, he was the manager and Express FC will surely target a better showing than last season.
We asked 19 Kawowo Sports pundits, photographers, editors, reporters and other staff to pick their champion.
Six-time champions Vipers SC got the most votes (6) followed by KCCA (4) and BUL (4), Kitara got 2 votes while champions SC Villa and shockingly Mbale Heroes got picked as well.
