The winner of the epic encounter will walk away with a whopping Shs50m, while Pentagon and Kafumbe 2 battle it out for third and fourth position.
“We are set for the final due this Friday,” said Hakim Kasirye, Hamz Cup coordinator.
“This year, 40 teams took part in the competition that is fully sponsored by Hajji Hamis Kiggundu.
We shall not only reward the best teams but also the team that will bring more fans as well as individual prizes for outstanding players.”
The tournament has provided a platform for young talent to shine, with many players using the Hamz Cup as a springboard to secure spots in top-flight and Big League divisions.
