KCCA FC will today need just a point against Lweza FC to be crowned champions of 2016-17 Azam Uganda Premier League. The game will be played at their home ground, Phillip Omondi Stadium, Lugogo where they have had a decent record throughout the season.
A point for KCCA FC in today’s game will see them retain and seal a 12th League title despite having two league games to play.
