BUL FC vs KCCA FC

FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru

Sunday, December 7, 2025 – 3pm EAT

The FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru will once again take centre stage this Sunday as BUL FC hosts KCCA FC in a crucial league encounter, one that brings together two sides chasing different forms of momentum.

For BUL FC, playing at home has always provided a timely lift, yet their recent form has been far from ideal. The Eastern Giants come into the contest having lost back-to-back games against UPPC and Kitara, with only one win in their last six league matches. Goals have dried up too, with no return in their last two league outings and their previous two home matches.

KCCA FC, on the other hand, arrives in Njeru brimming with confidence. The Cityzens are enjoying a strong run—four wins in their last five matches—and currently sit joint top of the UPL table. Their attack remains one of the sharpest in the division, a threat BUL’s resilient but under-pressure defence must contain.

This meeting marks the 29th league/cup clash between the two sides, a fixture historically tilted in KCCA FC’s favour. The Cityzens lead with 12 wins to BUL’s 7, and hold a superior goals tally, having scored 37 compared to the Eastern Giants’ 24. However, the nine stalemates between them highlight a rivalry that regularly produces tight and unpredictable contests.

Despite the contrasting form, the significance of Njeru as a stronghold for BUL cannot be understated. The hosts will lean heavily on their home crowd and defensive solidity their backline has conceded the second-fewest goals this season hoping to frustrate the visitors and reignite their campaign.

As anticipation builds, KCCA FC co-head coach Brian Ssenyondo emphasized the need for maximum focus and collective responsibility, acknowledging the challenge ahead.

“We have prepared well and are focused heading into the fixture against BUL FC. It definitely will be a tough match and every player must be at their best to secure a positive result in Njeru.”
