KAMPALA — Black Star FC has etched its name into Ugandan football history, clinching their maiden Kampala Regional League title. Under FUFA's newly introduced experimental league format, the ambitious side finished at the absolute apex of the table, commanding 54 points from 36 matches.
The historic triumph was sealed in dramatic fashion with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Edgars Youth FC at the Muteesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku, sparking wild celebrations among players, staff, and fans.
A Sweet Tactical Masterclass
The final matchday carried a massive personal narrative for Black Star head coach Sekajja Zack. Facing off against Edgars Youth FC—his former employers—Zack delivered a tactical masterclass. He guided his team to a narrow, disciplined victory over the side he once served, proving his elite credentials on the region's grandest local stage.
Individual Brilliance Dominates Season Awards
Black Star's relentless campaign didn't just win them the team silverware; it completely swept the league's individual accolades.
The Benson Lutaaya Show: The campaign’s undisputed talisman was 19-year-old sensation Benson Lutaaya. The young striker put on a clinical display of finishing all season, walking away with both the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and the Golden Boot after netting an astonishing 22 goals.
The Safe Hands: At the other end of the pitch, goalkeeper Sirajje Masembe took home the Golden Glove award, officially recognized as the league's best shot-stopper after anchoring the division's tightest defense.
