Head Coach Wasswa Bbosa On The Transfer Business At The Club.

“We’ve made a few additions to the team because we obviously had departures, I believe the technical team made the right decesions in all departments and that the new faces know what’s at stake. We intend to defend the titles we won (The league and Kagame Cup) and I am convinced this squad will deliver the holy grail”.

The Red Eagles are back in training to prepare for the upcoming new season but most importantly the season opener in the FUFA Super Cup where they will face Vipers S.C.
