Masaza Cup 2025 Launch Date Finally Revealed
The highly anticipated Buganda premier football tournament, Masaza Cup 2025 season, is around the corner.
Buganda Kingdom Ministry of Youth, Sports and Arts, through Minister Robert Serwanga Ssaalongo, has revealed that the preparations for this year’s Masaza Cup season to kickstart are almost over.
According to Minister Serwanga, the 2025 campaign will be officially launched on June 18, 2025.
The tournament opener will follow on Saturday, June 21.
The 2025 edition will mark the 20th Edition of Masaza Cup Football in Buganda since 2004.
Masaza cup, which unites 18 teams representing all the counties of Buganda, was not held in 2010 after tensions escalated between the Buganda Kingdom and the Uganda Government, leading to clashes and violence.
Buddu won last year’s title after a narrow 1-0 victory over Kyaggwe in the final at Namboole, Thanks to Mike Walaga’s fantastic finish.
Record champions Gomba, with five titles to their name, will be eager to reclaim their dominance after losing the 2023 final to Bulemeezi.
