URA Football Club is set to host UPDF at the Hamz stadium, Nakivubo, in a highly anticipated Uganda Premier League match on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. The match is scheduled to kick off at 7 pm, with URA looking to break their winless streak that has seen them draw all four of their opening fixtures.
Under the guidance of coach Alex Isabirye, URA has struggled to find their footing in the season, being held by teams like BUL, Express, NEC, and Lugazi, and managing just two goals in the process. In contrast, UPDF has had a mixed start, with one win, one loss, and a draw. Despite being the favorites to win, URA will need their forward line, led by Nelson Ssenkatuka, to step up and deliver a strong performance against UPDF.
The two teams are closely matched in terms of points, with URA having four points and sitting in 8th place, while UPDF has three points and occupies the 12th position. Historically, URA has had the upper hand against UPDF, losing just twice in their last 16 Premier League meetings. In their last encounter, URA emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, thanks to goals from Moses Aliro and Abraham Tusubira.
The match against UPDF is a crucial test for URA's resolve and determination to turn their season around. As the team takes to the field, they will be looking to capitalize on their historical advantage and secure their first win of the season. The outcome of this match will be closely watched, with UPDF looking to cause an upset and move up the league table.
The Uganda Premier League continues this week with other fixtures, including Police vs Maroons on Wednesday, followed by BUL vs Express and Kitara vs Lugazi on Thursday, and more matches on Friday and Saturday.
