For starters Buddu historically is the Capital City of Buganda Kingdom and the dwellers in that region proudly believe everything great belongs to them and surely believe they are the giants in all aspects and they have a slogan “Ffe Abaasala Lwera” simply translated as “We who crossed Lwera”.
Since the return of Masaza Cup in 2004, Buddu had lifted this title only once and it came in 2016 after beating All-time Champions, Gomba 6-5 after a one all draw in normal time at Namboole.
