Uganda Premier League side NEC FC has continued to lay down a marker ahead of the 2026/27 season after sealing the signature of experienced defender Mustafa Mujuzi on a three-year deal.
The commanding centre-back, who has committed to the Bugolobi-based outfit until the end of the 2028/29 campaign, is no stranger to the Diehards’ setup.
Mujuzi was not a mainstay figure during NEC’s impressive run to a runner-up finish in the recently concluded FUFA Super 8 tournament but the upcoming league gives him a chance to get a position in the team.
Known for his strength, aerial prowess, and exceptional game-reading skills, the energetic defender brings a wealth of top-flight experience to the NEC backline.
His extensive career includes notable spells with KCCA FC, Proline FC, Kyetume FC, Synergy FC, Vision FC, and Entebbe UPPC FC.
Mujuzi becomes the fourth major arrival at the club in the current transfer window, joining fellow recruits Enrique Lubwama, Enock Tumwesigye, and forward Fahad Bayo as NEC builds a formidable squad for the upcoming campaign.
NEC FC officials are confident that Mujuzi’s leadership and tactical discipline will add vital depth and stability to an already tight defensive unit as they chase domestic glory this season and beyond.
NEC will kick start on Saturday, August 29 as they take on KCCA in the Lugogo derby at Phillip Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.
