Born Talent Hold Retreat as Club Targets FUFA Big League Promotion

What the report says

Born Talent FC have begun preparations for the 2026/27 Kampala Region League season with a team retreat in Kawongo, Nakifuma County, Mukono District, as the club aims to win promotion to the FUFA Big League in the 2027/28 campaign. The Nile Post reported that the Kampala-based side has also unveiled a 28-man squad and its technical team ahead of the new season.

The club is coming off a third-place finish in a 16-team league last season, behind champions Black Stars and runners-up Proline FC. That result has set the backdrop for a renewed push to improve consistency and compete more strongly in the coming campaign. Born Talent are based in Mbuya, Nakawa Division, Kampala.

Head coach Kiyemba Muhamad Bart used the retreat to stress focus and performance, according to the report, while captain Kirya Steven highlighted team unity and urged players to maintain their commitment. The retreat included classroom sessions, mind games, team-building exercises and a friendly against hosts Kawongo FC. The club also presented its home, away and third kits as part of the build-up.

In related context reported by the same publisher, Born Talent are also participating in the 2026 Hamz Cup, where they have reached the quarter-finals and are due to meet Block F. The club’s broader objective is to build on last season’s progress and reach Uganda’s second-tier FUFA Big League next year.
