Buganda Regional League side Buwambo United Football Club has sights set on gaining promotion to the Fufa Big League.
In the current 2025-26 season, the club sits second in the standings with 32 points from 15 games at the halfway stage and is firmly in contention for promotion.
Buwambo United maintains an active presence across social media platforms and describes itself as a professional community club with ambitions to compete at the highest level of Ugandan football.
It’s upon that background that Betika has officially thrown its weight behind the club in a strategic move that reinforces its commitment to grassroots football development in Uganda.
Betika has provided financial support, match balls, training bibs, and a full set of branded jerseys, tools that will immediately strengthen the team’s preparations as they enter the decisive second half of the season.
The official handover ceremony, attended by players, club leadership, and members of the media, was filled with optimism and renewed energy, a moment that reflected not just support but partnership.
“At Betika, we believe football changes lives, especially when it starts at the community level,” said Desire Akanduhura, the Marketing Lead at Betika. “What we see in Buwambo United is resilience, structure, and the courage to dream bigger. We are proud to stand with them on this journey. This is about empowering local talent and giving communities something to rally behind.”
With just four points off the top of the table halfway through the season, the dream of playing Big League football is within reach. The gap at the top is narrow. The hunger in the squad is real. And the belief in Buwambo has never been stronger.
“This partnership gives our players confidence,” said Douglous Ssenkoma, the club CEO. “When a brand like Betika believes in you, it strengthens the entire club, from the dressing room to the fans in the stands. We are a community club with big ambitions, and this support fuels our push for promotion.”
Buwambo United’s rise is rooted in community pride, from their active engagement with fans to the way they nurture young talent. Their journey reflects the spirit of Ugandan football: driven, passionate, and deeply connected to the people.
We appreciate your dedicated effort towards documenting grass root football. I believe, this is a promising and significant initiative into facilitating Uganda’s football development.
As a Buwambo United’s fan or follower,
This means a lot to us. I appreciate Betika’s move, desire & purpose dedicated towards supporting Uganda’s grassroot football. Such commitments & partnerships to a community based team count significantly but also acting as a flagship initiative into igniting support to strategic development & transformation of young talent embedded within marginalized communities.
It’s evident that these small_small steps & initiatives in this partnership are incrementally building up & changing lives (status quo) at this community based side (Buwambo United)…….!
Again, much appreciation to Betika Company!
