UPL: Bunyoro derby headlines Matchday 21 as Kitara face Buhimba, NEC visit Police

Matchday 21 from the 2025/26 Startimes Uganda Premier League gets underway this Friday with three fixtures lined up, headlined by a much-anticipated Bunyoro derby in Hoima.
Kitara FC will welcome cross-town rivals Buhimba United Saints at the newly constructed Hoima City Stadium in what promises to be a thrilling regional showdown.

The Royals head into the encounter determined to secure maximum points and keep pressure on league leaders Vipers SC.
This fixture will also mark the first official competitive match at the Hoima City Stadium. Kitara previously christened the venue with a 1–0 victory over KCCA FC during its inauguration match late last year.
In terms of standings, Kitara occupy second place with 43 points, while Buhimba United Saints are battling near the relegation zone in 14th position with 15 points.
Meanwhile in Kamwokya, NEC FC will make the short trip to the Kiira Road Police Arena to face Police FC in another intriguing contest. NEC arrive in fine form, currently enjoying a ten-match unbeaten run in the league.

They sit seventh on 31 points, four points behind sixth-placed Police, making the encounter crucial in the race for top-half positioning.
The day’s other fixture will see BUL FC host struggling Mbarara City at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.
BUL are eighth on the table with 29 points and will be eager to push closer to the top six. Mbarara City, however, remain locked in a relegation battle, sitting second from bottom with just 13 points.
