Kitara FC, the exciting new entrants to the Uganda Premier League, have made a significant addition to their roster by confirming the signing of the promising 19-year-old winger, Yasin Sabir. The young talent has been plying his trade at UPDF FC since 2021, showcasing his skills and potential on the field.
In a move that has sent ripples of excitement through the footballing community, Sabir has committed his talents to Kitara FC, putting pen to paper on a one-year working contract that will keep him with the Royals until the end of June 2024. With his right foot as his strongest weapon, Sabir is known for his prowess as a winger, a position that he has honed since his early footballing days.
Sabir’s football journey began at Naguru Police Kids, where his passion for the sport ignited. He then moved on to the esteemed Proline Academy, where he further polished his skills under expert guidance. Before joining UPDF FC, Sabir spent time with Synergy FC, showcasing his talents at the senior level, and it was during this time that he caught the attention of top-flight clubs.
Notably, the talented winger isn’t the only individual making the transition from UPDF FC to Kitara FC. He joins Coach Brian Ssenyondo and Shafiq Magogo, both of whom were associated with the Army side last season, bringing a sense of familiarity and teamwork to the new club.
As Kitara FC prepares for their maiden season in the top-flight, they have been active in the ongoing transfer window, securing the services of several promising players to bolster their squad. Among the new signings are Frank Zaga Tumwesige, Chrispus Kusiima, Luwalo Kipper, Solomon Okwalinga, Jude Ssemugabi, and Ibrahim Magandazi, all of whom are expected to add depth and strength to the team.
Kitara FC’s rise to the Uganda Premier League has been nothing short of remarkable. The team’s impressive performance during the 2022/23 FUFA Big League season led them to clinch the title and secure promotion to the top-flight.
