During a press briefing held at the Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala, Kitara FC President Deo Kasozi Akiiki confirmed that tickets for the match scheduled for Saturday, September 12, are now on sale both at designated selling points and online.
“We appreciate our fans from across the entire country for supporting us in the first leg where we defeated Mogadishu City Council. We invite them to witness our return leg as we make history,” he said.

Our ordinary ticket is 20,000 UGX, the VIP ticket is 50,000 UGX, however, the early bird ticket is 15,000 UGX and it is only available physically from now until Wednesday evening.”

Workaholic forward Jimmy Kalema scored twice on his debut in continental football to give Kitara FC their first continental win, with the club having made its debut in the 2024/2025 season when they played both of their games outside Uganda.
Kitara FC will progress to the next stage where they will face continental giants Al Ahly SC from Egypt if they eliminate Mogadishu City Council at this stage.
