MASAZA CUP: Buweekula Ssaza FC Awards is an awards gala, presented by The Elders, regarded as the most prestigious individual honour a Buweekula FC player can get.
During the awards ceremony on Wednesday night, September 18, 2024, at Kaz Lounge & Kitchen in Mubende, midfield general Amour Munogera was all smiles after winning the Buweekula Ssaza FC’s elite accolade.
Amour won Buweekula FC’s Most Valuable Player for Masaza Cup 2024 group stages defeating Kalema Jimmy and Senyonga Bashir.
The sensational forward Jimmy Kalema who has so far scored three goals in this year’s Masaza Cup including a brace against rivals Ssingo Ssaza FC claimed the Runners UP Most Valuable Player award.
Buweekula’s number one, ‘Mr Safe Hands’ Senyonga Bashir with nine appearances and seven clean sheets won Most Consistent Player conquering right-back Aniku Fahad and center-back Kikambi Martin.
In the Most Disciplined Player category, Aniku Fahad was shinning leaving Goalkeeper Ssekatawa Benson and defender Isabirye Ibrahim sorrow.
According to the Awards Sponsors, Kaz Lounge and The Elders, the awards aimed at motivating the Nakayama Boys ahead of the quarter-final task.
“The main aim of these awards is to motivate our players to keep improving their performances on Buweekula Ssaza FC and to yawn for more in their football career.
“We started this not because we have a lot of money or because we are the oldest people in Mubende but because we saw a gap that we believed we could fill and that’s why these awards are into life today,” Mr Kyanjo Dennis, The Elders Chairperson said during the ceremony.
Kaz Lounge & Kitchen as main sponsors of this year’s awards revealed that their support for Buweekula FC won’t stop at the awards.
“We thank those who brought the idea. When they came to us, we decided to join hands with them to make this ceremony a success. As Kaz Lounge we will always be available to welcome such ideas and will continue doing our best as far as supporting Buweekula Ssaza FC is concerned,” Director of Kaz Lounge & Kitchen, Mr Jonathan said.
The ceremony attracted several Buweekula fans and politicians including hopeful Mubende Municipality MP Deo Masembe Mujabi who awarded each winner with cash and promised to support the team in any way possible.
Hope Nakazibwe Grania, the woman MP Mubende district in her absence supported the event with 200,000shs.
The awards gala was presented for the first time in 2023 and the tradition has continued ever since.
