FUFA Big League – Onduparaka and Wakiso Giants Bounce Back to Winning Ways

After a shaky start to the 2025/26 FUFA Big League campaign, Onduparaka FC and Wakiso Giants FC reignited their seasons with vital victories over the weekend.

Onduparaka, who had fallen 2-0 to Blacks Power in their opening fixture, made amends in front of their passionate Arua faithful.

Playing at the iconic Greenlight Stadium, the Caterpillars edged Iganga United 1-0 courtesy of substitute Eric Junior Akol, who came off the bench to slot home the decisive goal two minutes past the hour mark.

Meanwhile, Wakiso Giants FC stung by a 3-2 defeat to debutants Young Elephants last week, rediscovered their rhythm with a comfortable 2-0 win against Kiyinda Boys FC in Gayaza.

Team captain Duncan Sseninde opened the scoring before super-sub Samuel Nsubuga sealed the result, handing the Purple Sharks their first three points of the season.

Elsewhere, Soltilo Bright Stars demonstrated resilience after rallying from two goals down to share spoils with CATDA FC in a pulsating 2-2 draw.

First-half goals from Kevin Tevin Kyeyune and Isaac Kiberu put CATDA in control, but Bright Stars roared back through Opio and Arafat, ensuring an even outcome in the end.

In Kabale, Kigezi HomeBoyz and Kaaro Karungi settled for a 1-1 stalemate, while Bunyaruguru FC secured a narrow 1-0 triumph over Kataka FC, courtesy of a well-taken strike that made the difference.

At the Mbale Municipal Stadium, the clash between Mbale Heroes FC and Paidha Black Angels FC was cut short by torrential rain in the 65th minute.

The hosts were leading 1-0, thanks to Akram Muzanyi’s first-half penalty, and the remaining minutes will be completed on Monday.

Earlier in the week, Nebbi Central FC had thumped Iganga United FC 4-1 on Thursday, setting the tone for a competitive second matchday.
