Three time Buganda Masaza Cup champions Bulemeezi Ssaza have continued to reinforce their squad ahead of the second round of the 2026 Buganda Masaza Cup with the return of towering defender Rodgers Ssebyondya.

The experienced center back rejoins the Luweero-based side at a crucial stage of the competition as Bulemeezi seek to revive their campaign and mount a strong push for a place in the knockout stages.

Ssebyondya's return is expected to provide much-needed stability to Bulemeezi's backline. Renowned for his commanding aerial presence, physical strength, and leadership qualities, the defender is anticipated to play a key role in tightening the team's defence during the remainder of the tournament.

His arrival is the latest move by the club to reshape its squad following the appointment of experienced coach David Mutono "Katono", who recently took over as head coach. The management has shown its determination to turn the season around by backing the new technical team with quality reinforcements.

Bulemeezi has also been active in the transfer market, recently unveiling Bernardo Kateregga as another addition to the squad. The return of Ssebyondya further highlights the club's ambition to strengthen every department as they prepare for a demanding second round.

Speaking after completing the move, club officials welcomed the defender back and expressed confidence that his experience and winning mentality will inspire the team during the decisive phase of the competition.

Supporters have also reacted positively to the news, with many believing Ssebyondya's return could be the missing piece in Bulemeezi's quest to regain consistency and challenge for another Masaza Cup title.

With the second round set to get underway, competition for places in the starting lineup is expected to intensify, giving head coach David Mutono more options as he looks to guide the three-time champions back to winning ways.

All eyes will now be on Rodgers Ssebyondya as he prepares to make his return in Bulemeezi colors and help the club fight for a successful finish to the 2026 Buganda Masaza Cup campaign.
