Defending champions KCCA and StarTimes Uganda Premier League champions Express will embark on the Dar es Salaam journey this weekend to start the quest for the regional glory.<\/p>\n

While KCCA manager Morley Byekwaso has been superintending over the Kobs (U-23) at the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup tourney in Ethiopia, his technical team comprising new deputies Saka Mpiima and Badru Kaddu have been fine-tuning the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur preparations have included online training instructions our coaches have been sending to the players to help them prepare for the tournament because we want to defend the trophy we won in Rwanda (in 2019),\u201d KCCA CEO Anisha Muhoozi told Daily Monitor.<\/p>\n

KCCA will jet out on Friday with some of their latest transfer acquisitions such as left-back Brian Majwega, who is back for a third stint to Lugogo.<\/p>\n

A lot of water has gone under the bridge since KCCA broke a 41-year-jinx to bag their second Cecafa trophy in 2019 under Mike Mutebi. Several key players i that triumph \u2013 Allan Okello, Muzamir Mutyaba, Mike Mutyaba and Sadam Juma \u2013 have since left the club.<\/p>\n

KCCA management also believe the platform will aid Byekwaso, fresh from penning a three-year contract with the club, assemble a laser sharp team that can roar domestically again.<\/p>\n

After jettisoning defenders Moses Kalanzi and Filbert Obenchan, KCCA have sought to galvanise the team with a couple of experienced players after finishing a dismal fourth in the league last season.<\/p>\n

At Wankulukuku, Express will encounter the two-week tourney with a two-fold agenda \u2013 preparing for continental duties and seeking to win their maiden Cecafa title.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be in Tanzania to better our 2013 quarterfinal performance and show why we are the Ugandan champions,\u201d Express CEO Isaac Mwesigwa said.<\/p>\n

The Red Eagles have since parted ways with first choice goalkeeper Mathias Muwanga and will turn to surrogates Denis Otim and Crispus Kusiima.<\/p>\n

A month to the Caf Champions League registration deadline, Wasswa Bbosa\u2019s team has been linked to free-agent Joel Mutakubwa, whose experience they hope will the void between the sticks.<\/p>\n
