Management of Ssese ssaza confirmed the appointment of the full technical docket as the 2025 Buganda Masaza football tournament fast approaches.

Edirisa Walusimbi is the head coach. He will work alongside a team of other coaches as Godfrey Kateregga (assistant coach) and Gavin Kibirige (goalkeeping coach).

“I thank the Ssese ssaza management for appointing me as head coach. Together with the members of my technical team and the players, with the support of the committee and fans, we shall deliver the expected good results,” Walusimbi, a former right back remarked.

The islanders eye a solid start to the season in their endeavour to win their first ever Masaza cup title.

Buddu Ssaza is the reigning champion of the tournament which does not permit players who have played for the Uganda Cranes (senior national team), Uganda Kobs (U-23), Uganda Hippos (U-20), Uganda Premier League and FUFA Big League.

The tournament has created great opportunities for sports talents that have been scouted to play for established local and international clubs like, Farooq Miya from Mawokota, Frank Ssebufu from Buddu, Yasser Mugerwa (Gomba), Baker Buyala (Bugerere), Steven Desse Mukwala (Ssingo), among others.
