The 2025–2026 FUFA Big League continued to build excitement across Uganda as matchday three produced thrilling action, dramatic home victories, and crucial away points on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
At the Mbale City Stadium, Kataka FC delighted their home fans with a commanding 3–1 triumph over Nebbi Central.
Usama Kayemba opened the scoring before Michael Olinga and Ali Ssentamu extended the advantage, sealing the result before halftime.
A second-half own goal from Saul Bukoma offered little consolation for the visitors, who struggled to match Kataka’s intensity.
In Iganga, the Municipal Ground roared to life as Iganga United edged Young Elephants 2–1 in a tightly contested affair. The victory keeps Iganga among the early pace-setters, continuing their impressive start to life in the Big League.
Over in Mityana, Ntungasaze FC grabbed a narrow but valuable 1–0 win over Onduparaka FC at the Ssaza Grounds.
Brian Omirambe’s well-taken strike on the half-hour mark proved to be the difference as Ntungasaze claimed their first home victory of the season.
Meanwhile, in Zombo, the Bar Okoro Stadium witnessed a slender 1–0 victory for Paidha Black Angels over visiting Blacks Power FC. The hosts displayed composure and tactical discipline to secure all three points in front of their jubilant supporters.
Elsewhere, there were two 1–1 stalemates: Wakiso Giants were held by Kigezi HomeBoyz, while Karoo Karungi shared the spoils with Soltilo Bright Stars in Ntungamo.
Two fixtures ended without goals — Bunyaruguru vs Kiyinda Boyz and CATDA vs Mbale Heroes — as both encounters turned into midfield battles with few clear chances.
With three promotion slots up for grabs to the StarTimes Uganda Premier League next May, early performances are beginning to shape the narrative of the 2025–2026 FUFA Big League campaign.
Kataka, Iganga United, Ntungasaze, and Paidha Black Angels will look to maintain momentum, while the rest continue their chase to climb the ladder in one of Uganda’s most competitive divisions.
