Kitara Football Club have been crowned champions of 2022/23 Star Times FUFA Big League season.
This comes after Sam Ssimbwa’s guns defeated Kaaro Karungi FC 1-0 during their final fixture played at Kigaaya Play Grounds on Thursday evening.
In a game watched by a mammoth crowd, Paul Mucureezi scored the lone goal of the game.
The former Vipers forward converted from the spot in the 37th minute after Paddy Muhumuza was fouled in the box.
The win meant Kitara finished the season on 61 points, one ahead of Mbarara City FC who also won their home game 3-0 against already relegated Northern Gateway.
Kitara secured promotion last week after defeating Adjumani Town Council.
Kitara and Mbarara City have been joined by NEC FC as the three teams promoted to the 2023/24 Star Times Uganda Premier League.
