Kitara president Deo Kasozi couldn’t hide his delight as the club lifted their second Stanbic Uganda Cup title in history and also revealed why he returned as the club president.
Kasozi revealed that the Uganda Cup doesn’t only come with pride but other benefits as well including representing Uganda in the Caf Confederation Cup.
“It’s not our first time to win the Stanbic Uganda Cup, it’s the second time, and winning trophies is an added advantage, with the region very happy,” Kasozi revealed while appearing on NTV SportKnights on Monday.
“Of course, winning a trophy comes with benefits, including financial gains, and I believe this should be one of the club’s best seasons,” he added.
Asked why he backtracked on the decision he had taken to leave the club presidency, Kasozi revealed why.
“I had left presidency of the club because I wanted to concentrate more on the private set ups,” he started. “But when you look at the heavy investments taking place in the region, I thought it would be a disservice really for me to leave my community alone,” he explained.
“I thought I needed to go back and help steer the club until another capable person comes and takes over because I am born of the place and will be buried there.
“But if a capable person can emerge and takes over, I will remain an ardent fan forever.”
On the season in general, Kasozi feels it has been success despite missing out on the league title to Vipers.
“We lost the Premier League when we were left with three games, and we know the reasons why we lost. We believe next season we shall work on those issues. Generally, the season was good.”
With the Hoima stadium now in place, Kitara could have an opportunity to host their intercontinental matches in the region.
