Tonight, we welcome Entebbe UPPC FC to MTN Omondi Stadium for what promises to be another intense Premier League encounter under the floodlights.
This reunion carries extra weight – after missing them last season due to their relegation, and with their rebrand from Gaddafi FC now settled, the history between us has been competitive and unforgiving.
Recent meetings tell their own story: 25/10/2025: Entebbe UPPC 1-0 NEC, a result we’re determined to overweight later on today, 09/03/2024: Gaddafi 0-1 NEC; our revengeful win at their home ground then, not with a sufficient goal weight toover power them in a head-to-head match-up, and the inaugural 01/11/2023: NEC 0-3 Gaddafi, a result that set this to be a forever an unforgiving fixture.
Today’s game for us is about building on our current league momentum. Coach KB will be taking on UPPC FC as our Head Coach for the first time and this changes all the trajectory of this encounter as he continues to shape his story at Bugoloobi.
Our current run.
Unbeaten in the last nine league games (5 wins, 4 draws), collecting 19 points from a possible 27. In that run we’ve kept six clean sheets, scored 12 goals and conceded just six – a testament to the defensive solidity and growing attacking threat that’s lifted us into contention for the league’s top spots.
Currently sitting 7th after 19 games (7W-9D-3L, 22 goals scored, 16 conceded, +6 GD, 30 points), our home record at MTN Omondi has provided a solid foundation, with recent victories and hard-earned draws underlining the belief in the group.
What the opposition brings.
Entebbe UPPC arrive pushing for a top-four spot, sitting 5th with 10 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from 19 games (35 points, +7 GD). They’ve been solid defensively while finding results, making them a dangerous opponent on their return to the top flight.
For us, this is an opportunity to stretch the unbeaten sequence to 10 games, add another shutout to the tally and take maximum points to keep climbing.
We back the group to deliver a controlled, professional performance – turning the October reverse into a statement result.
