About

Its nick name is ‘The Royals’ and currently uses Kigaaya Church of Uganda play grounds as it’s home ground.

Since its formation, Kitara Fc  has grown from strength to strength emerging from playing in the lower division to  regional league and currently playing in  Uganda Premier League which is the first tier league in country.

The Royals made history in 2019 when they gained promotion to the National Top flight league, the StarTimes Uganda Premier League for the first time.

This was under the stewardship of youthful coach, Mark Twinamatsiko and Godfrey Bamwenda as club President.

However, their stay at the top lasted just one season amidst a number of challenges but most notably the Corona Virus pandemic and got relegated to the FUFA Big League.

Following a few changes in administration with Deo Kasozi Akiiki succeeding Bamwenda, the technical and playing staff also took shape before the commencement of 2022/23 season.

Under Kasozi, the second division campaign started well for the Hoima based outfit; they didn’t suffer any defeat at Kigaaya playgrounds and lost only three matches before gaining promotion back to the Uganda premier league.

Kitara topped the table for most spells of the campaign, and beat off competition from Mbarara City, NEC and Police football club under the guidance of Sam Ssimbwa Bamweyana as head coach.

They went to win the 2022/23 FUFA Big League title.

The 2022/23 season is so far the most successful footballing campaign in the club history.

This will be the second time Kitara will be competing in the Uganda premier league.

Brian Ssenyondo is the current head coach and the latter was tasked with making sure the club competes and stays in the top division longer.

Kitara will temporarily be using Masindi municipal stadium to host their games for the 2023/24 league campaign as they continue construction works on Royals Park, in Butema which will be our official home grounds.
