Kyaka County has emerged victorious in the fourth edition of the Tooro Kingdom Masaza Football Tournament, securing a 2–0 win over Fort Portal County in the final match held at St. Paul’s Major Seminary in Kinyamasika, Fort Portal City.

The win was powered by goals from Arafat Baluku in the first half and Fred Tumusiime in the second. This marked Kyaka’s third appearance in the tournament’s final and their second title win. Meanwhile, Fort Portal County has now suffered defeat twice at this decisive stage.

His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who presided over the final as the chief guest, presented the champions with the trophy along with a cash award of 12 million shillings.
