Kyaggwe dominate October Real Stars Awards

Kyaggwe’s historic Masaza Cup triumph was recognised at the ForteBet Real Stars Sports Monthly Awards.

Hero George Kato Isingoma, head coach Ronald Ssali and county chief Oweekitiibwa Ssekiboobo Vincent Matovu headlined the October award winners.

Sponsored by ForteBet and Jude Colour Solutions, the awards ceremony was held at Molecule Restaurant in Kololo on Tuesday, November 3.

Isingoma won the football award after scoring the decisive goal in Kyaggwe’s 1-0 victory over Gomba in Saturday’s final at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku, which secured the county’s maiden Masaza Cup title.

He beat competition from teammate Godfrey Arijole, who was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, and Gomba’s Muhammad Kasule, the competition’s top scorer with six goals.

Kyaggwe head coach Ronald Ssali received a lifetime achievement award for guiding the county to its first Masaza Cup crown, while county chief Oweekitiibwa Ssekiboobo Vincent Matovu was also honoured for his leadership in ending the county’s 22-year wait for the title.

Elsewhere, Vanessa Nagawa won the boxing award after claiming gold for Uganda at the Africa Boxing Championships in Nairobi, becoming the first Ugandan female boxer to win gold at an international competitive boxing event.

Joseph Ssebatindira claimed the table tennis award unopposed after successfully defending his title at the 2026 ITTF World Hopes Week and Challenge (Under-12) in Sheffield, England.
