UPDF beat Busoga United (3-0), Kitara (5-1), Bul FC (2-1) and a 1-0 win against Police FC. Kisala’s UPDF lost 1-0 to Kyetume FC.

This is the fourth time Sam Simbwa to appear on the podium of these awards and has won once in January 2019.
Brian Aheebwa, Brian Kalumba and Ben Ocen of KCCA FC, UPDF and Police respectively are nominated in players category.
KCCA FC’s Brian Aheebwa is the current leading top scorer with 7 goals and two assists in five games.
Police’s Ben Ocen has scored six and an assists after five matches compared to UPDF’s forward Brian Kalumba who is at five goals.
