Football: KCCA FC opens dialogue to reconnect with fans

What the report says

KCCA FC has opened talks with supporters as part of an effort to repair strained relations and strengthen fan participation, according to The Observer. The discussion took place last weekend at MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo and was led by board chairman Eng. Andrew Mukiibi Sserunjogi and chief executive Anisha Muhoozi.

The club said the engagement was meant to improve communication, governance and membership growth, while also giving fans a chance to raise concerns about administration, recent results, squad development and the delayed stadium project. Supporters also discussed broader issues such as youth structures and the club’s operational efficiency.

A key issue raised was the cost of finishing the stadium. Club officials said Shs 39.4 billion is still needed to complete the facility, which they described as about 70% structurally complete. They also said another Shs 6 billion is required to replace the turf and meet FIFA standards. The article noted that the turf issue could affect whether the ground can host league matches and may raise safety concerns.

KCCA FC said the meeting fits into its 2026/27 fan engagement and governance strategy. The club also announced an interim committee to review the supporters’ constitution before elections for formal fan leadership, and it pledged better member benefits plus stronger mobilisation for home and away fixtures.
