UCU Doves head coach Deogracious Anguria attributed the poor start to ineffective serving, poor execution and missed opportunities from free balls.
Jimmy Kintu’s side took control of the contest early, scoring twice within three minutes in the first half before adding a third goal after the break to secure maximum points in front of their home supporters.
The Lady Canons recovered from a 19–10 defeat to Canada’s Carleton University in their opening Pool B match to register a commanding 21–5 victory over hosts of the University of Macau.
According to the fixtures released by the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), UCU will open their campaign at home against Dream Girls Soccer Academy on Sunday, 18 October 2026, at the UCU Grounds in Mukono.
UCU entered the final hoping to end the tournament with the title after an impressive run to the championship game. However, Sport-S controlled the final and completed a straight-sets victory to take the men’s title.
“As a result of this gala, we have all been brought together,” he said, calling for similar activities to be extended to other UCU campuses.
The thanksgiving service, held at Nkoyoyo Hall, brought together the Lady Canons, Sports Office administrators, coaches and athletes from other sporting disciplines, led by University Chaplain Rev. Canon Paul Wasswa Ssembiro.
Uganda’s run to the final included a dramatic 15-14 semifinal victory over Argentina, where the
team held its nerve to book a place in the gold medal match against South Africa.

For you to calculate all those things, there is no way you can tell me that you can think all those things in three seconds and you can’t gain anything when you’re reading.
