Non league side Football Classroom will be seeking to make more history when they host FUFA Big League side Buhimba Saints FC in the Stanbic Uganda Cup round of 64 contest on Saturday, 25th January at Yes Centre in Nsambya.
Under the stewardship of Felix Ssekabuza, the Kampala based side is one of the two sides that prevailed to the round of 64.
“We are happy to be at this stage, we know our opponents are strong they are from the Big League, but we have prepared our players well. They are ready for the challenge and we are hopeful we shall progress to the round of 32.” Said Ssekabuza
To reach this stage, Ssekabuza’s side registered wins against Kansanga (1-0), Jaguar (5-2) Moonlight Kazinga (2-0) and PCCP (1-0).
