Suici FC reinforced their dominance in the Mwiri League by securing a third consecutive championship after defeating Makaya FC 2-0 in the Main Pool final during the sixth edition finale held in Jinja City over the weekend.
The event, powered by Guinness attracted hundreds of former students from different cohorts and old boys from other schools.
Suici’s latest triumph further cements the team’s reputation as one of the most successful sides in the competition’s recent history. The defending champions delivered a composed and disciplined performance in the final, overcoming a determined Makaya side to retain the coveted title.
In the Plate Cup category, Solida FC emerged champions after edging Kombora Goolo FC 3-2 in an entertaining final.
Speaking after the match, Solida captain Ashiraf Kusasira credited the team’s success to discipline and tactical execution.
“We knew the final would be difficult, but the players remained committed to the coach’s strategy from the beginning of the tournament. That consistency helped us progress through every stage and eventually lift our first trophy,” Kusasira said.
He noted that teamwork, determination, and adherence to the game plan proved decisive in helping the 1995 cohort claim the Plate Cup title.
Guinness Brand Manager Denise Nazzinda said the Mwiri League exemplifies the power of sport to create lasting connections beyond competition.
“Guinness is proud to support initiatives that bring communities together in meaningful ways. Seeing generations of alumni come together, share experiences and continue building on the bonds they formed at school reflects the kind of positive impact that sport can have,” she said.
Beyond the action on the pitch, the event highlighted the enduring spirit of brotherhood among former students of Busoga College Mwiri. Participants from different generations used the occasion to reconnect, mentor younger alumni, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
MOBA President Daniel Mushabe Kakaire praised the continued growth of the tournament, describing it as a key platform for maintaining strong bonds among the school’s alumni.
“There were moments when the tournament faced challenges and risked losing momentum, but we remained committed to sustaining it. This event is about much more than football—it is about preserving the Mwiri brotherhood and strengthening relationships across generations,” Mushabe said.
He emphasized that the competition has evolved into an important annual gathering that promotes networking, mentorship, and community engagement among former students.
The Mwiri League will return in November for Season 7.
