BUTAMBALA County is the venue for this year’s Masaza Cup opening ceremony tomorrow. Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II will grace the occasion at Kibibi SS ground that will set in motion the annual tournament with Butambala hosting neighbours Mawokota.

This will be the fifth year running since the event, being competed for by the 18 counties in Buganda, was revived in 2004. Kyaddondo won the 2008 edition after beating Gomba 2-0 at Nakivubo stadium.

Butambala won the hosting rights for tomorrow’s ceremony after edging out seven other bidders. However, the competition kicks off without a sponsor for the first time since 2004.

Peacock Paints who have been bankrolling it are yet to commit themselves this year. Butambala will be seeking revenge after losing to Mawokota 1-0 at the same ground last year.

The defeat saw Butambala suffer an early exit, but they have vowed to go all the way this time round.
