USSSA 2025: Reigning champions,St Julian, Other Three Get a Bye as Mukono District Holds Group Stage Draws

The green tickets for the schools to start their journey at round of 32 follows their performances in the last year’s (2024) edition where the four teams emerged as the semi finalists of the District and during the draws, at least sixty eight (68) schools turned up for the draws which forced the committee and games teachers available to honor and respect them hence accepted to start from round of 32.

“We are not doing this to favor certain Schools but we are just creating competition as teams should work hard  to be among the top four. Also, this is done because we are giving other schools opportunities and also follow some FUFA and CAF rules”. Said Stephen Kitooke, the chairperson of  Mukono District Secondary Schools Sports Associations

“We are going into these games, let’s not attack our fellows. Let’s not field none bonified students to play in the games, I request teachers, let’s leave this game to students”. Added Stephen Kitooke, the chairperson of  Mukono District Secondary Schools Sports Associations

Schools drawn at round of Sixty four stage will start their qualification journey on Saturday 8th and climax on the following day, Sunday 9th March 2025 at Sixteen different venues in Mukono District.

Said, Wilberforce Sserugo who is the secretary for Mukono District Secondary Schools Sports Association.
