Overview

The competition has also been known as the Kakungulu Cup and was won by Coffee Kakira who beat Uganda Commercial Bank FC 5-4 on penalties in the final. The score was level at 1-1 at the end of normal play.[1][2][3]

Results are not available for the earlier rounds, although it is known that Kampala City Council FC conceded a contentious match to Uganda Commercial Bank in the semi-final. KCC players were subsequently accused of match-fixing in particular Godfrey Kateregga who had a one-on-one against UCB’s keeper Jimmy Bossa Jnr but instead turned and sent a long back pass to his goalkeeper John Tebusweke. There appears to have been a reciprocal arrangement where UCB conceded a vital league match in order to assist KCC take the league title. The scandal has been identified as one of the most serious match fixing episodes in Ugandan football.[4]
