Mawokota Saza made a bold statement ahead of the 2025 Masaza Cup tournament by unveiling their official squad in front of an excited home crowd at Buwama Stadium. The unveiling was capped off with an entertaining friendly match against regional rivals Busiro, which ended in a spirited 1-1 draw.

The match served as a glimpse into the strength and depth of the new-look Mawokota side, which is aiming to clinch their fourth Masaza Cup title. Fans filled the stands with excitement and applause, encouraged by the team’s energy and cohesion, signaling what promises to be a competitive campaign.
The 2025 squad boasts a strong blend of youth, experience, and individual brilliance, thanks in large part to the renewed involvement of Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa. His return to supporting Mawokota has already made a significant impact, most notably in the acquisition of marquee players.
Leading the headlines is the signing of Pius Sebulime, the former Buddu captain and key figure in their 2024 championship run. Sebulime’s decision to cross the Lwera boundary and join Mawokota symbolizes a major power shift and has been met with widespread approval from the fans.

Also joining the squad is the 2024 Masaza Cup Most Valuable Player Amuri Munogera, who arrives from Buwekula with high expectations. His inclusion, alongside fellow new signings Bruno Mukwaya and Ayebare Vincent, strengthens Mawokota’s midfield and wing options, promising dynamic and entertaining football.
Mawokota has been drawn into the Masengere Group, one of the most competitive pools in this year’s tournament. They will face Buwekula, Kyadondo, Bugerere, Buvuma, and Bulemeezi. Their opening fixture will be away against Buwekula on June 29, a match that is expected to set the tone for their campaign. With a solid technical team in place, Mawokota is not only eyeing progression from the group stages but also has its sights firmly set on the championship.
As the countdown to kick-off continues, Mawokota fans will be hoping that this star-studded team, backed by experienced management and rejuvenated leadership, will bring the Masaza Cup back home for a record-equalling fourth time.
