Bika Football competition reigning Champions Mbogo clan and 2016 & 2017 Champions Nte are among the six clans that have registered for 2020 edition today.

The others are Nyonyi Nyange, Nvubu, Buttiko, and Mutima Muyanja. These join Mamba Kakoboza, Musu, Nkusu, Kibe, Mpeewo and Ngo who confirmed participation yesterday, and Ffumbe, Nkima, Nkejje and Nsenene who were the first clans to register on Tuesday.

This year’s registration is conducted online after a resolution by the Bika Football Committee to register this year’s competitors using online platforms due to the COVID-19 pandemic Lockdown, the response from team managers has proved to be positive as four clans have so far confirmed participation by registration.

Bika Football Committee Chairman Hajji Suleiman Magala announced four stadiums including Muteesa II Stadium-Wankulukuku, Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium in Wakiso, IUIU-Kabojja and Lubiri Play Ground to be used this year.

The Buganda Minister for Youth, Sports and Recreation Henry Ssekabembe Kiberu earlier this month informed the Kingdom subjects and team managers that the opening dates and venue for this year’s edition will be announced shortly after the lockdown lift by the Katikiro Charles Peter Mayiga.

Last year’s edition opener was held St. Nazareth Kavulu play Ground in Mawokota on Saturday, the 11th May as Musu shout out a star paraded Mutima Muyanja by 10-9 after a one all normal time draw.
Badru Nsimbe Jibril (Musu) second half equalizer cancelled Ivan Mayanja’s early first stanza strike to send the game to spot kicks.

Mbogo is the defending Champion after a 1-0 victory over Kkobe in the final played at Masaka Recreation Ground in Buddu on Saturday, the 31st August 2019.
The then Bright Stars on form striker Nelson Ssenkatuka scored the only goal in the game as Mbogo humbled the 10 man Kkobe.
