Malinga’s first test will be against Lugazi FC

Malinga, a former Entebbe Health and KCCA FC industrious right back, brings a wealth of experience to the technical team. He has previously served as head coach of Mbale Heroes, KCCA Junior Team, and Mawokota Ssaza in the prestigious Masaza Cup tournament.

Earlier this year, Malinga guided Buddo SS to the USSSA Boys Football Championship title, edging St. Mary’s Kitende in a thrilling final held in Ngora District.

The new technical setup marks the beginning of a fresh chapter for the club, with their first league test coming after the international break against Lugazi FC.
