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.
