The ownership and management crisis that has kept Uganda’s most successful football club, SC Villa, crippled seem to be solved in the near future as the club adopts a move to turn into a community hold.
The club’s glory can only be traced in ½ decades when he last won a league title before and a dramatic Uganda Cup victory recently in 2015.
Since July 2018, Villa has been under the leadership of an interim committee headed by William Nkemba taking over from former President Eng. Ben Misagga.
In a press conference held at Sheraton Hotel on Wednesday morning, the 14th October 2020, the club confirmed a move of becoming a community club status.
The Villa Members’ Trust was formed. It’s from this trust a Congress will be formed and will constitute the assembly.
This Trust is incorporated under the Trustee Incorporation Act (CAP 165) of the Republic of Uganda, under the Board of Trustees that shall be the custodians of the Villa Members Trust.
The Villa Members Trust Club requires a payment an annual subscription of 50,000 shillings which will also be the annual membership fee.

However, the club has not been too active in the players market despite losing some of her key players.
