The result follows UCU’s previous victories against Posta Netball Club and Busia Greater Lions, whom they defeated 39–32 and 43–28, respectively.
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.
With Prossy Basemera scoring for the second time in a row, Cathy Nassimbwa netting her fourth goal in the last three games for the Lady Cardinals, and Ritah Adyero sealing the victory, the efforts of the star players overshadowed the only goal for BUL FC Women. The visitors’ goal came from an own goal by Lady Cardinals goalkeeper Annita Akayo after a shot by Shifa Namubiru struck her back and went into the net.
SJMC and Social Sciences edged the School of Business 25-23 to win the UCU Inter-Faculty Netball title, while FEDAT dominated the School of Law 76-46 in the basketball final, sealing a memorable double finale to the university’s Inter-Faculty Games.
Combined School of Social Sciences and SJMC team defeated FEDT 2-0 to win the UCU Inter-Faculty Games 2026 title. Goals from Diego Mugambwa and tournament top scorer Simon Arike capped a disciplined performance built on tactical execution and resilient defending.
One of the developers, Bak Kau Nak, explained that the scoreboard is designed to support multiple sports, including basketball, football, volleyball, netball, and any other sport that requires timekeeping and scoring.
Coached by UCU Canons shooting guard Zachariah Ekirappa, the SJMC and Social Sciences side put up a determined performance to seal the podium finish in a highly contested encounter.
The win was pivotal on the well-coordinated backline of UCU Lady Cardinals, commanded by Prossy Basemera and Harriet Muwugumya, as well as the team’s ball carrier upfront, Cathy Nassimbwa, who was in her prime form so far this season, making the defence of Jinja United Women FC look shaky.
