Playing in front of a mediocre crowd dominated by students, Ngabi Nsamba have won this edition’s Bika Football Competition following their slim 1-0 win over Mpindi.

The thrilling and highly contested final was held on Saturday, the 8^th June 2024 at Muteesa II Stadium Wankulukuku.

Finishing from a fabulous combination between Bruno Bunyaga who released Matovu Maluda to lay in a good cross, Viane Sekajugo Ssamula scored the only goal of the game.

The goal came too early into the 7 minutes of the game.

This becomes Ngabi Nsamba 5^th championship. They won in 1951, 1987, 2007 and lately in 2013.

Meanwhile Mpindi won Bika shield in 1996 and 2006.

To reach this year’s final, Ngabi Nsamba eliminated Omutima Omusaggi in a 2-1 victory at the Semi-final stage.

Bruno Bunyaga’s brace inspired Ngabi Nsamba past resilient Omutima Omusaggi. Fahim Ssaka scored for Omutima Omussagi.

Meanwhile Mpindi beat Nkima 1-0 in the semis. Ronald Sembuya’s 47^th minute strike was enough for the two time champions Mpindi to storm this year’s final.

Ngabi Nsamba have pocketed a prize money of UGX.9,000,000 while Mpindi walked away with UGX.7,000,000.

Meanwhile, Omutima Omusaggi labored past resilient Nkima to win one zero in the third place classification match.

Shakib Mayanja scored a beauty to inspire Omutima Omusaggi to a slim 1-0 win.
