*Wakiso Giants vs URA FC
Wakiso Giants will face URA FC on Monday for the FUFA Pilsner Eight classification game at Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium in Wakissha Resource centre in Wakiso.
The two teams will be battling out to see who claims fifth position bragging rights. The winner will take home Sh6M while the loser will go home with Sh5M as prize money.
The teams will notably use this tie as a prep for their Uganda Premier league season. It should be noted Wakiso Giants will host URA FC on September 3 on match day two of the UPL season.
It is not yet known whether the Purple Sharks will give debuts to their new additions in Viane Ssekajugo and Kirizestom Ntambi.
Also, it remains to be seen whether Ibrahim Kiyemba will be fit to play after missing out on the team’s 2-1 win against Tooro United in their first classification game. Kiyemba, on loan from Vipers played against Vipers SC in the quarters.
“It’s so unfortunate that we did not start off so well in our opening match against Mbarara. We should have done better,” noted URA FC’s fullback Yeseri Waibi.
“That is done now, we have to keep working hard so we can finish off [the Pilsner Super 8] on a good note.”
URA FC beat Proline FC in shootouts after a one all draw. The side had lost away to Mbarara City FC in the quarters.
Against Proline FC, the side had Hamis Diego Kiiza cancel out Crowmwel Rwothomio’s opener before settling the affair in shootouts.
URA FC has since added Ronald Odonkonyero from Ndejje University and signed on a three year contract.
